Yesterday, Lubbock City Council held the first of two public hearings regarding a potential pause on large-scale data center projects. Our Samantha Larned reports that residents expressed concerns over the neighborhoods that may be impacted by future development and the use of Lubbock’s natural resources. The city's second public hearing is currently scheduled for Dec. 10, after which the council will be able to cast a final vote on whether or not to adopt a moratorium.
