Marshalltown city council reverses course, OKs four-month data center moratorium

The Marshalltown City Council voted 5-2 to enact a four-month data center moratorium, reversing an earlier decision. This pause allows time for new regulations and restrictions to be developed by the Planning and Zoning Commission and city staff. Concerns about power and water usage, as well as the city's control over data center developments, were central to the discussion.
