Renton City Council approved a one-year moratorium on data center development Monday night. The ban prevents new data center projects from being approved during the moratorium period. Council members cited community concerns about infrastructure strain and environmental impacts as reasons for the decision. The council will review the moratorium's effectiveness before deciding on a longer-term policy. A public hearing is scheduled for September 15 to discuss the issue further.
