Monterey Park, California, Bans Data Centers After Resident Vote

Residents of Monterey Park, California, voted overwhelmingly in early June to ban data centers within their city limits, following a contentious proposal by StratCap for a new facility. The decision makes Monterey Park the first U.S. city to enact such a ban, driven by local opposition citing concerns over electricity and water consumption, noise pollution, increased utility prices, and environmental impacts like wildfire risk. The city had previously implemented a moratorium and a council ordinance against data centers before residents pushed for a definitive ballot measure.

Monterey Park City Council Adopts Moratorium on Data Centers

The Monterey Park City Council has adopted a moratorium on data center development after a contentious battle over a proposed 225,000 square-foot data center project by Australian company HMC StratCap. The city required an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) rather than a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND), which led to delays and opposition from local residents. The council has now voted to put a citywide data center ban on the June 2026 ballot.
