Caddo Parish commissioners deferred a proposed moratorium on new and expanding data centers to a committee for further review, amid resident concerns over rising utilities and declining property values. The parish attorney advised that a moratorium requires an ordinance rather than a resolution, and a new ordinance was proposed to mandate environmental impact studies from data center developers.
