Energy analyst: Data center moratoriums scare off developers

(The Center Square) - As more Colorado local governments implement temporary bans on data centers, developers are better off looking elsewhere, according to an energy policy analyst. Sarah Montalbano, who researches energy and natural resources at the Denver-based Independence Institute, said these recent decisions by Fort Collins and Littleton are “coming out of a broader trend in Colorado where cities and municipalities” are deciding their own rules about data centers. This week, Fort Collins and Littleton both approved a six-month temporary moratorium on data centers. At least 16 local governments in Colorado have adopted temporary moratoriums on new data centers, including Denver, the state’s largest city. The moratorium gives the impression that Colorado doesn’t want data center developers, Montalbano explained. Ginny Sawyer, Fort Collins City Manager Kelly DiMartino’s assistant, told The Center Square that the city council implemented the moratorium to give it “time to pause potential applications and see what regulations [it] might want to put in place.” Fort Collins, a city of around 175,000 people, raised concerns about data centers’ use of water and electricity, as well as lighting and noise, she noted. The city’s ordinance says the data center moratorium lasts until April 6, 2027. Sawyer said

Catalyst Developer Mulling Ballot Question Rejection

In the aftermath of Greeley voters’ Tuesday rejection of an 0.6% sales and use tax increase, developer Martin Lind is mulling his options. According to the Greeley Tribune, Lind’s Windsor-based Water Valley Co. wants to develop the city-owned Catalyst entertainment district and surrounding Cascadia mixed-use development on Greeley’s western edge. The Greeley City Council put the sales tax question — 60 cents on a $100 non-food purchase — on the ballot to help pay debt service on $115 million already spent on planning and infrastructure to make Catalyst and the Civic Campus possible.

5 Best Restaurants in Centennial, Colorado You Need to Try Before Everyone Else Finds Them

Centennial, Colorado — a city where the Rockies cast their long blue shadows over tidy neighborhoods, where prairie grass sways beside glassy new builds, and where the laughter of families rises from parks stitched together by memory and hope. Here, the air is alive with the scent of pine, the sizzle of backyard grills, and the quiet hum of ambition — tech startups, teachers, and dreamers all calling this patchwork city home. Centennial is a crossroads — of old Colorado roots and new arrivals, of bustling shopping centers and hidden trails, of neighbors who wave from porches and children who race the wind down wide suburban streets.

5 Best Restaurants in Denver, Colorado You Need to Try Before Everyone Else Finds Them

Denver, Colorado — a city where the mountains rise blue and bold against the sky, where red-brick Victorians and glass towers stand shoulder to shoulder, where the scent of roasting green chile drifts through neighborhoods stitched together by memory and migration. Here, the air is thin and electric, alive with the laughter of students, the wisdom of old-timers, the dreams of newcomers drawn by the promise of possibility. Denver is a crossroads — of ranchers and artists, techies and teachers, families who’ve called these blocks home for generations and those who arrived chasing the sun.
