Eagan places 1-year pause on new data center developments The Eagan City Council voted on Tuesday to pause new data center developments for one year to study the impacts of data centers. The moratorium may be the first-of-its-kind in Minnesota.

Eagan pauses new hyperscale data centers over energy demand, land use & community impact concerns. This is what it looks like when communities & decision-makers take a closer look before moving forward.
