Commissioner David O’Keefe said he believes the moratorium is something the county will benefit from.
“We’ll look back and be very glad that we put this 18 month hold on large scale data, power users and large scale data centers to have time to look at it before we make long-term, permanent decisions,” O’Keefe said. “I think that this is some decision that we’re going to come back to 10 years from now and this county is going to be better off for it.”
