Plans for a 20-megawatt data center at the former Star Tribune printing plant in Minneapolis have been cancelled due to ongoing community opposition and a city-imposed moratorium on data center projects until November 21.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Deep Tech: Telecom & Connectivity.

◆ The Wire takeaway

Minneapolis' data center moratorium is blocking new projects and driving away developers. You need to reassess risks in city markets with active moratoria or community resistance to infrastructure expansion.
