This week’s headlines reinforce a trend that is becoming impossible to ignore: the push for greater oversight of data center development is accelerating—and it’s spreading well beyond the markets where opposition first emerged. From The New York Times’ investigation into Meta’s confidential $50 billion Louisiana deal to Loudoun County considering a pause on new applications in the world’s largest data center market, the conversation is increasingly centered on transparency, public trust, and local control. Meanwhile, […]

Zoning In This week’s headlines make one thing unmistakably clear: community opposition has evolved from isolated local disputes into a coordinated national movement reshaping how—and whether—data centers are built. From 142 organized protests across 42 states to new moratoriums, zoning regulations, utility investigations, and a growing bipartisan political movement, communities are no longer asking whether data centers should be regulated—they’re demanding a meaningful seat at the table. The industry’s challenge has never been clearer: technical […]

This week’s biggest story wasn’t a new data center announcement—it was New York becoming the first state in the nation to impose a statewide moratorium on large-scale data center construction. If there was any doubt that community opposition has evolved into a major political issue, this week erased it. The ripple effects are already being felt: Palm Beach County rejected a major AI campus after a marathon, 12-hour public hearing, while residents packed meetings from […]

This week’s roundup once again highlights an increasingly costly mistake for data center developers: waiting too long to meaningfully engage the public. The industry has been warned for years that engagement needs to begin early—before rumors spread, opposition organizes, and residents feel decisions are being made behind closed doors. Yet we continue to see developers arrive with completed plans, controlled announcements, and little meaningful outreach. Even more troubling, some projects that have already faced lawsuits, […]

As we celebrate Independence Day and the principles of self-governance, this week’s Zoning In reflects a similar theme playing out across the country: communities are demanding a greater voice in shaping data center development. This week brought continued calls for moratoriums, lawsuits, protests, and greater transparency, along with San Marcos, Texas’ decision to ban data centers through its zoning code. We also saw the official end of Virginia’s long-running Digital Gateway project—a reminder that even […]

Perhaps the most telling story this week remains the ongoing fallout from the Stratos project in Utah. After previously suggesting project opponents were tied to the Chinese government, investor Kevin O’Leary publicly retracted those claims, acknowledging he had no evidence to support them. Coming on the heels of his recent admission that the project rollout was mishandled, the episode has become a cautionary tale for an industry already facing a growing trust deficit. Rather than […]

This week’s Zoning In highlights a troubling trend for the data center industry: opposition continues to accelerate across the country. A new report from Data Center Watch found that at least 75 projects representing more than $130 billion in investment were delayed or canceled during the first quarter of 2026 alone—already surpassing the number of construction setbacks reported during all of last year. At the same time, the number of organized opposition groups has more […]
