Where does Kaukauna stand on data centers, bird city designation?
The proposed pause could delay Edged’s $93 million Project Gateway, which would serve as a networking hub and faces more than 4,200 petition signatures.
- The Prichard City Council will vote today on a proposed 480-day moratorium on new data center permits, with Council president Traci Hale introducing the resolution to draft zoning and water use regulations.
- Edged aims to develop a $93 million facility at 214 Telegraph Road near Africatown, a project that surfaced in April despite the site remaining vacant since at least 2011.
- A Change.org petition opposing the development has gathered more than 4,200 signatures from residents concerned about grid load, noise, and water usage associated with data center operations.
- Prichard's move reflects a broader national trend: The Information counts more than 500 U.S. jurisdictions now banning or restricting new data centers, with over 150 local bans passed in July alone.
- If the proposal receives approval, construction on the Edged facility could begin as early as late 2026, though the company has established a dedicated project website to manage development information.
