A group of Fort Worth City Council members has called for a moratorium on the development of data centers in the city. The request aims to pause new construction projects of this type within municipal boundaries.
The specific duration of the proposed pause was not detailed in the available reporting. Nor was the exact number of council members supporting the motion or the specific reasons cited for the request made public in the source material.
It remains unclear whether the full City Council will vote on the proposal or if it is intended as a preliminary step toward future legislation. The current status of existing data center projects in Fort Worth was not addressed.
Further details regarding the scope of the moratorium and the council's next steps are not yet clear.
