Data center company sues Eagan over development pause

Eagan Capital has filed a lawsuit against the City of Eagan, challenging the city's one-year data center moratorium, arguing it exceeded the city's authority. The lawsuit follows the city council's unanimous denial of an interim use permit for Eagan Capital's data center site due to zoning and permitting issues. Separately, Inver Grove Heights has also enacted a one-year data center moratorium amidst resident opposition and a filed petition for environmental review.

Inver Grove Heights officials approve 1-year moratorium on data centers

The Inver Grove Heights City Council approved a one-year moratorium on data center development following a 3-2 vote, halting a proposed project by Fortress Investment Group on Carmen Avenue.
