Inver Grove Heights faces a potential $20 million liability from a lawsuit by data center company Q'Levr after imposing a one-year moratorium on data centers that excludes the company. The city council is moving to amend the moratorium to exclude Q'Levr's project and is seeking public input before a final vote.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Data Infrastructure.

◆ The Wire takeaway

City governments can face costly lawsuits when imposing moratoriums without clear exemptions. You need to engage local officials now to shape or avoid restrictive rules that could risk your project or community support.
