Excerpt

Denver City Council voted unanimously Monday night to approve a one-year ban on new data centers.

Monday’s vote followed a lengthy public comment.

Council members Paul Kashmann and Darrell Watson co-sponsored the measure, which aims to create working groups to study things like noise, air quality, construction impacts, zoning, building, and energy codes, to name a few.

Community members also voiced their concerns during the public comment period; some called the moratorium a good first step in establishing regulations, and many highlighted environmental and health risks, as well as the impact these data centers have on Denver neighborhoods. Some even called for an outright ban on data centers.
