Reno City Council Enacts Data Center Moratorium Amid Community Concerns

The Reno City Council has enacted a 30-day moratorium on new data centers to establish new regulations, following community concerns about environmental impacts, water, and electricity consumption. While an existing AI data center near Keystone Avenue, which was previously approved with a conditional use permit, can proceed, new applications are paused. The governor and developers claim the Fleet data center uses a closed-loop water system and will create short-term construction jobs.
