The Monterey Park City Council has enacted a 45-day moratorium on data centers, prompted by community concerns over a proposed facility by StratCap Data Centers at Saturn Park. Over 300 residents attended a special meeting, voicing worries about water usage, air quality, and traffic, leading officials to emphasize the need for transparency and public engagement. The council may consider extending the moratorium indefinitely in future meetings, with local activists rallying significant opposition against the development.
