THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
Clayton enacted a 365-day moratorium on accepting or processing applications for data processing centers, including AI and high-performance computing facilities. During this period, the City Manager, Law Director, Planning and Zoning, Planning Commission, and other staff will study impacts, review other laws, and draft new zoning classifications and standards. This creates near-term demand for technical, planning, and legal expertise on data center operations, utilities, and regulatory frameworks before the moratorium ends in July 2027.
Study scope includes reviewing federal, state, county, and regional laws and utility constraints and preparing zoning text amendments and review procedures.

A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
