data center

A coalition of environmental, farm and social advocacy groups want Kotek to issue a multi-year moratorium on data centers in Oregon.

The vote on the moratorium, which is now in effect immediately, comes shortly after the community rallied against a proposed AI data center in Bonner, which ultimately failed to get off the ground.

Montana residents are seeking oversight of data center construction by putting voter initiatives on the ballot this year.

While hearings on a proposed Bonner data center are on hold, Missoula area residents are organizing to push for a moratorium.
