A request has been made for a temporary halt on new data center construction in Fort Worth. This moratorium is being sought by five members of the Fort Worth City Council. The reason for the request is to address concerns raised by residents.

These concerns include issues related to noise pollution, as well as the demands that data centers place on infrastructure. Additionally, residents are worried about the amount of water and energy that data centers consume.

Further details on this development are available through FOX 4 News Dallas-Fort Worth.
