Salt Lake County has approved a 180-day pause on new data center development in unincorporated areas.
The six-month moratorium gives county officials time to review zoning rules and examine concerns surrounding water use, power demand, infrastructure and other potential impacts before additional projects move forward.
The pause applies to new data center development in unincorporated Salt Lake County, not necessarily every city within the county.
