Republican Councilor Michael-Paul Hart voted against the measure. The moratorium applies to new data centers going forward. The ordinance, supported by Mayor Joe Hogsett and sponsored by Council President Maggie Lewis, will halt any new data center projects through the end of 2027. The ban does not affect three data centers that were already approved earlier this year.
