The Millington Board of Mayor and Aldermen approved a six-month moratorium on new applications for data centers and related facilities during its meeting Monday, Oct. 12.
The moratorium, established through Resolution 44-2026, temporarily stops the acceptance of new applications for non-grid power generation, accessory computing and industrial-scale facilities. The restriction immediately took effect and is scheduled to expire on April 12, 2027, unless extended.
Millington joins other Memphis-area governments moving to regulate data centers.
