• Saguache County places moratorium on data center projects: County Commissioners want time to determine land use regulations for any rural data center projects — Owen Woods (AlamosaCitizen.com) … (coyotegulch.blog) — Saguache County commissioners have enacted a six‑month emergency moratorium on new data center projects so they can rewrite local land use and 1041 regulations. The move follows utility interest from rural data center developers and widespread resident concern about impacts on power, water, and rural character. Any permanent rules will require planning commission review and public hearings.
