A moratorium on data center projects is being extended. This move allows more time for a study on the effects of such projects. An engineering firm has been contracted to examine the impacts on various resources. The firm, which specializes in civil and environmental engineering, will provide results that city staff can evaluate.

The extension is intended to give officials sufficient time to review the study's findings. Details about the study and its expected outcomes are available.

City officials have taken steps to pass an ordinance for the extension, with a specific timeframe in mind.
