Brighton residents uncover proposal for massive data center campus, spurring potential moratorium

Residents in Brighton, Colorado, uncovered a proposal for a 2.5 million-square-foot data center campus, raising concerns about its impact on the neighborhood. In response, a City Council member plans to propose a 90-day moratorium on data center applications to establish specific zoning codes and address water usage concerns. The project's rezoning application has been submitted but not yet reviewed by the city council.
