Hillsboro and Oregon are moving to limit data center growth

Hillsboro, Oregon, has adopted a four-month moratorium on approving new data centers due to concerns over infrastructure strain, electricity costs, water usage, and loss of agricultural land. The state of Oregon is also considering new compensation fees for fiber cable installations, while utility rates have significantly increased for residents. These actions address the rapid growth of data centers in the region, driven by tax incentives and intercontinental fiber connectivity.
