The Inver Grove Heights City Council voted 3-2 to approve a one-year moratorium on new data center development despite a developer's threat of legal action. The moratorium temporarily pauses new projects while city leaders study potential regulations and evaluate how future data centers could impact the community. The vote follows months of public debate over a proposed data center, with residents voicing concerns about infrastructure, growth and long-term planning. City officials say the pause will allow time to develop policies before considering additional projects. #InverGroveHeights #DataCenter #Minnesota #TwinCities #LocalNews #FOX9
