Foley Considers Ban on High-Demand Data Centers and Crypto Facilities

Foley, Alabama is considering a temporary moratorium on high-demand data centers and crypto facilities to manage rapid development and protect local water and power resources.

The city's council will review an ordinance that would impose a temporary hold on applications for these types of facilities, citing concerns about their extreme electrical demand and high water consumption.

This move is aimed at giving municipal departments time to assess the long-term infrastructure impacts of tech-heavy facilities.
