Loveland City Council signaled plans this week to impose a temporary moratorium on data center developments to give staff time to draft proper regulations. Facing a packed chamber of concerned residents holding “No Data Centers” signs, officials agreed to pause potential projects to evaluate environmental and resource impacts. The Loveland Reporter Herald reports Acting Deputy City Manager Julia Holland assured the crowd that no data center applications are currently pending, nor is the city bound by any non-disclosure agreements with developers. Council members expressed a desire to learn from other municipalities before taking further action on the emerging technology.
