What happened
Kalamazoo city commissioners are set to finalize a one-year moratorium on proposals for data centers and large battery energy storage systems. This action is intended to buy time to redraft zoning codes to ensure that these facilities do not negatively impact the community or neighbors. The moratorium begins upon the approval scheduled for this evening.
