Council leaders discussed the proposal before voting in favor of the moratorium, which is intended to pause the installment of data centers for the designated period. The decision came after some councilmembers and local residents raised concerns related to the possible arrival of a data center in the community.
The council’s action means additional steps will be tied to the moratorium’s timeline, beginning July 14. For residents and project proponents, the pause creates a window for further consideration while the city operates under the temporary restriction.
