With no large proposals pending, the moratorium would give leaders time to define data centers and build in public review so residents can weigh in before future projects move forward.
   

• Mount Pleasant works to update animal cruelty law (live5news.com) — Mount Pleasant officials are moving to tighten the town's animal cruelty ordinance, adding clear standards for humane care, housing, tethering and weather protection that animal control can enforce.
