Gibraltar faces data center developer lawsuit after city passes moratorium

Developers Raeden and Cal Realty are suing the city of Gibraltar, Michigan, over its one-year data center moratorium, arguing it unlawfully blocks their 100-megawatt project application submitted before the ban. The lawsuit challenges the legal viability of such moratoriums, while residents express concerns about the data center's impact on the power grid and Humbug Marsh. The property's zoning permits a data center, but the city's moratorium prevents review.
