New Albany is moving forward with a proposed temporary moratorium on new data center applications. The city’s development and annexation committee voted unanimously to advance the ordinance, which would pause new applications for up to one year. During this time, city officials will review rules regarding new developments and hear concerns from residents about the impact on environmental resources, noise, and other community considerations.

He emphasized the importance of mitigating concerns from the public and minimizing disruption to residents’ lives. The city’s Planning Commission will meet to review the proposal, and residents will have the opportunity to share their thoughts on data center development and the proposed moratorium.
