Lubbock residents urged the City Council on Tuesday to approve a 90-day pause on new large-scale data center projects.
During the first public hearing, residents raised concerns about water use, noise and the impact on nearby neighborhoods. The proposed moratorium would temporarily halt new rezoning, permitting and annexation applications for large-scale data centers.
What's next:
December 1: Council considers proposed data center zoning rules.
December 10: Second public hearing on the moratorium.
No vote was taken Tuesday.
