Pittsburg City Council places 45-day moratorium on new data centers amid resident protests
Residents argue a temporary pause on the Avaio project does not go far enough as local backlash grows ahead of the election. The Pittsburg City Council has placed a 45-day moratorium on new data center development following protests from residents over potential health risks and proximity to homes, schools, and a church. The decision targets the next two phases of the Avaio data center project, which was approved at the former Delta View Golf Course in 2024 and is not affected by the temporary halt. The council could consider extending the moratorium before it expires, but the first phase of the project remains unaffected. The controversy comes just days before the election, with opponents arguing that Proposition 45 could streamline environmental reviews and make it easier to move certain data center projects forward.
