The Inver Grove Heights City Council approved a one-year moratorium on new or expanded data centers by a 3-2 vote, immediately pausing such projects in the city.[1]
The moratorium immediately pauses T5 Data Centers' proposed 55,000-square-foot, 5 MW project at 5890 Carmen Ave., on the Travel Tags property.[1]
Eagan, Carver and Apple Valley have all recently blocked or paused data center projects, and Monticello added new zoning restrictions after public complaints, putting Inver Grove Heights in step with several nearby suburbs rethinking approvals.[1]
