Tomorrow, the City of Lubbock will be holding a public hearing regarding a potential 90-day pause on large-scale data center development. The city council voted to begin the moratorium procedure in September, with members expressing that they want to take the time to ensure residents and resources are protected before considering any proposals. Our Brad Burt also reports on another agenda item for the meeting, outlining how property owners can petition the city to pave their alleys. The regular Lubbock City Council meeting, including the public hearing, is expected to begin at 2 p.m. tomorrow at Citizens Tower.
