Pre-RFPInformation TechnologyDetected Jun 18, 2026

The Council introduced Z-26-02, an ordinance to approve a temporary moratorium on the construction of data centers in New Albany, and referred it to the Development & Annexation Committee. A moratorium typically precedes development of new zoning, infrastructure, environmental, and design standards, suggesting the city is reassessing how and where data centers fit into its land-use and infrastructure plans. For firms in planning, engineering, energy management, broadband, and data center consulting, this signals that New Albany may soon define technical, infrastructure, and policy requirements for future facilities.Vendors can offer impact studies, ordinance and design-standard drafting support, utility and cooling analysis, and community benefit frameworks while the committee and staff are still shaping the regulatory and infrastructure approach.

Item is at policy development stage; no specific data center projects or developers are named in the minutes.
