Pre-RFPInformation TechnologyDetected Jun 15, 2026

The Foristell Board of Aldermen agenda for June 15, 2026 includes Bill No. 26-05, an ordinance proposing a moratorium on accepting and reviewing applications for information technology and data processing facility construction. The pause would remain in place while the Planning and Zoning Commission studies and reviews policies, regulations, and standards governing such facilities in the city.This indicates the city anticipates future development interest in data centers and IT facilities and wants a clearer regulatory framework before more projects move forward. Vendors in planning, engineering, environmental review, code and standards consulting, and specialized data center design can position themselves to assist the city and future applicants once the study shapes new requirements, such as site standards, utility and cooling needs, and security and noise controls.

Item is framed as a policy and standards review tied to future construction of IT and data processing facilities; no specific developer or project is named yet.

Staff had already completed profiling, testing, and several half-day sessions with the project manager. The decision is made, but the implementation still needs setup, training content, and support around member onboarding.
