Pulaski County Approves Data Center Moratorium with Exemption for AVAIO Project
Pulaski County, Arkansas, has approved a yearlong moratorium on new data centers, with an exemption for AVAIO Digital's planned data center near Wrightsville. The decision has sparked controversy, as the AVAIO project is one of two that have faced public backlash due to concerns over resource use and environmental impact. The AVAIO center is expected to be highly power-intensive, with plans to expand its power usage significantly. The moratorium aims to address public concerns while allowing AVAIO to proceed due to its substantial investment in the community.
