  Indianapolis data center moratorium put on hold pending definition amendment

  The Indianapolis City-County Council placed a proposed moratorium on new data center development applications on hold during a Monday meeting. An amendment was added to clarify the definition of data centers and which facilities would fall under the ban, which would have prohibited new applications until 2028 across Indianapolis and Marion County. The proposal will return to the Metropolitan Development Commission on August 19 for reconsideration. If approved, the city would develop standards addressing building heights, footprints, sound levels, and electronic waste disposal. The move reflects local pushback against hyperscale development despite state-level incentives.
