Pacific City Council Halts Data Center Applications Amid Franklin County Commissioner Race
The Pacific City Council has enacted a one-year moratorium on data center applications, responding to community concerns as Franklin County's Commissioner race gains significance. The decision allows for land use studies and public input regarding proposed facilities.

The Pacific City Council voted unanimously to pause data center applications for one year, allowing for community engagement and study of land use implications. This decision follows primary elections where voter sentiments were influenced by the proposed Crooked Creek and Diamond Farms Data Centers, spanning 500 and 600 acres respectively.
Residents expressed worries about noise and environmental impacts, directly linking these concerns to their electoral choices. The outcome of the county commission race will be crucial in determining the future of these projects as they may soon be subject to approval for development.
