夏洛特市10月12日举行数据中心暂停令听证 会决定是否延长至2027年
夏洛特市议会将于 10 月 12 日举行公众听证，讨论是否延长全市新建数据中心暂停令。现行 150 天暂停令于今年 6 月通过、将于 11 月 5 日到期；若通过延长方案，暂停期将再延 11 个月，持续至 2027 年 10 月 11 日，让市府有更多时间研究电力、用水、土地和居民电费等影响。
市府说明，目前数据中心在 8 个分区类别中属于“当然许可”用途，通常不需要市议会逐项审批。暂停期间，已在推进中的项目仍可继续；市府已成立 19 人工作组研究监管方案，居民可通过市府网站报名在听证会上发言。（资料来源：夏洛特市议会）
Charlotte Schedules Oct. 12 Hearing on Extending Data Center Moratorium
The Charlotte City Council will hold a public hearing on October 12 on whether to extend the citywide pause on new data center development. The current 150-day moratorium, passed in June, expires November 5; an extension would keep the pause in place for 11 more months, through October 11, 2027, while the city studies effects on the power grid, water, land use and residents' utility bills.
City officials note that data centers are currently allowed by right in eight zoning districts, meaning they generally do not require individual City Council approval. Projects already in progress may continue during the moratorium, and a 19-person task force is studying possible regulations. Residents can sign up through the city website to speak at the hearing.
