The Memphis city council has officially rejected a proposal that would have imposed an 18-month moratorium on the development of new data centers. In a move to address concerns regarding the expansion of such facilities, the council opted to implement a shorter, 135-day ban on new projects instead.
This decision marks a shift in the regulatory approach toward data center infrastructure within the region. The shorter timeframe allows for a temporary pause on new construction while presumably providing the city additional time to evaluate the impact and requirements of these projects.
