威斯康星拉皮兹市数据中心禁建令完成公示，10月9日生效
据《威斯康星拉皮兹每日论坛报》报道，威斯康星拉皮兹市的数据中心开发禁建令在10月8日完成法律公示后，于10月9日正式生效。
市议会于10月5日通过了该禁建令。根据州法，禁建期最长为12个月（可延长6个月），在此期间市政府将研究数据中心对健康、公共安全和电价的影响，并制定相应的分区法规。
支持者担忧大型数据中心会给电网和供水带来压力，并可能推高居民电费。一名专攻人口健康的注册护士提交了支持暂停开发的意见信，市议会还同步推进设立数据中心专用分区覆盖区的修订。
这一举动反映了中西部地区针对数据中心项目的地方反弹浪潮——各社区在承诺的税收和就业，与能源和水资源需求之间权衡。
Wisconsin Rapids Data Center Moratorium Takes Effect After Legal Publication
A moratorium on data center development in Wisconsin Rapids took effect on October 9, after the city completed the legal publication of the ordinance on October 8, the Wisconsin Rapids Daily Tribune reported.
The Common Council passed the moratorium on October 5. It pauses new data center development for up to 12 months — the maximum allowed under state law, with a possible six-month extension — while the city studies health, public safety and utility-rate impacts and drafts zoning rules.
Supporters cited concerns that large data centers strain the electric grid and water supplies and could drive up electricity costs for residents. A registered nurse specializing in population health submitted a letter of support for the pause, and the council simultaneously moved to create a dedicated data center zoning overlay district.
The move reflects a growing wave of local pushback against data center projects across the Midwest, as communities weigh the promised tax revenue and jobs against energy and water demands.
