Denver市长约翰斯顿支持暂停新建数据中心 市议会将审议法令制定土地能源用水规则
位于科罗拉多州丹佛县的丹佛市（市县合一），据《Denver邮报》等媒体报道，Denver市长迈克·约翰斯顿办公室近日宣布，Denver正考虑对市内新的数据中心项目实施临时暂停，以便官员审查现行监管规则。
市长办公室表示，审查可能带来专门针对数据中心的新规与分区规则，重点是“负责任地使用土地、能源与水”，并兼顾公用事业缴费者的负担能力。约翰斯顿在新闻稿中说：“数据中心支撑着我们依赖的技术，也增强了我们的经济。但这个行业发展很快，我们的政策也必须跟上。这次暂停让我们能够设立清晰、一致的护栏，同时保护我们最宝贵的资源、维护生活质量。”
该暂停预计持续“数月”，须经市议会多数通过法令后才能生效。市议员保罗·卡什曼与达雷尔·沃森在市长新闻稿中表示大体支持，沃森计划提出该提案；卡什曼同时指出，他与市长之间以及与其他议员同事之间仍有分歧，需要与市政府、社区与业界共同协商。
Denver Mayor Johnston Backs Moratorium on New Data Centers While City Writes Land, Energy and Water Rules
Denver is a city in Denver County, Colorado (a consolidated city-county). The Denver Post and other outlets reported that Mayor Mike Johnston's office has announced Denver is considering a temporary halt on new data center projects so officials can review the city's regulations for the sites.
The review could result in new data center-specific regulations and zoning focused on 'responsible land, energy and water use,' along with affordability for utility ratepayers, according to the mayor's news release. 'Data centers power the technology we depend upon and strengthen our economy,' Johnston said. 'But as this industry evolves, so must our policies. This pause allows us to put clear and consistent guardrails in place while protecting our most precious resources and preserving our quality of life.'
The moratorium, intended to last 'several months,' would take effect only if a majority of the City Council first approves an ordinance. Council members Paul Kashmann and Darrell Watson were quoted in the release as generally supportive, with Watson planning to introduce the proposal; Kashmann noted there is still distance between his view and the mayor's, and said he looks forward to working with the administration, the community and industry voices.
