📌 Other
Denver named a 26-person working group of residents and experts to recommend data center rules during the moratorium. Meetings start Oct. 9, 2026 and will be streamed. The pause could be extended past May 2027.
⏸️ Pause on new data centers
Denver City Council voted unanimously for a one-year pause on permits and site plans for new data centers. It took effect May 21, 2026. Data centers already running or already permitted (like CoreSite's DE3) can keep going, but CoreSite's two later buildings are on hold.
