What happened
State courts are determining the applicability of a proposed local ordinance in Ottawa. The ordinance, which seeks to ban hyper-scale data centers, was put on the November ballot after Ottawa residents sued the city, alleging officials ignored a citizen-led initiative petition. The court previously allowed the question to proceed to the ballot.

Why it matters
The court's decision will determine the regulatory environment for data centers in the area. Placing the ordinance question on the ballot saved the city an estimated $10,000 to $15,000 in special election costs.
