Data Center Moratorium Withdrawn, Guidelines to Be Developed

Residents are upset the council declined to adopt a 45-day moratorium on AI data center development last month while the city updates its zoning ordinance. They want the moratorium back — or a public vote — citing water use, lithium battery fire risk, and health impacts. The Mayor Pro Tem says no data center is actually planned for Brawley right now.
