Allen Park extends its data center moratorium
Allen Park is extending its moratorium on data center development, citing the need for more time to develop local legislation to regulate the controversial centers. The city council voted unanimously on Tuesday, Nov. 10, to extend its moratorium by six months. This move effectively doubles the city's current six-month data center moratorium, which was passed on June 9. Before the vote, Councilman Dan Loyd said the city's planning commission is currently considering how strict to make the local legislation that would regulate data centers. Communities can regulate data centers through their zoning ordinances. “One of the things that is going to go into this conversation is, as in any time you do legislation, is where do you draw the line? Where do you say, ‘This is not good for our community,’ and ‘This is good for our community?’ These are not easy conversations, and this is where we’re at," said Loyd. Communities across Metro Detroit have scrambled to put data center moratoriums in place to give them time to adjust their zoning ordinances to regulate where these facilities can and can't go . With some of those moratoriums set to expire, several communities are now extending their moratoriums. Rochester Hills
