Milford adopts 180‑day moratorium on data centers and related facilities
Summary
Milford City Council unanimously adopted Ordinance 04‑2026 imposing a 180‑day temporary moratorium on data centers, data center power plants, and solar energy facilities to allow study and development of land‑use regulations.
The Milford City Council adopted Ordinance 04‑2026, a temporary 180‑day moratorium on data centers, data center power plants, and solar energy facilities within city limits to allow staff and council time to study and develop land‑use regulations. Council Member Russell Smith moved to adopt the ordinance; Council Member Scott Symond seconded the motion. The motion carried with unanimous votes from the five council members present.
The moratorium was described as a pause to permit time for study and regulation drafting; the Planning Commission earlier recommended that data centers are not an appropriate land use in Milford and will prepare an ordinance prohibiting such facilities, a step the council’s moratorium seeks to allow staff the time to coordinate. The moratorium will last 180 days unless council acts to extend or repeal it.
