The Ellensburg City Council is scheduled to hold a public hearing on Nov. 16, 2026, to consider Resolution 2026-29, which would adopt a work plan for a data center study and extend the city’s data center moratorium to one year, according to the published agenda.
The same meeting agenda also lists a public hearing to consider Proposed Ordinance 5007, which would adopt the 2027-2028 biennial budget, according to the published agenda.
The hearing matters to residents because it addresses how long the city will pause data center development while officials study the issue, and because it covers the city’s upcoming two-year budget, according to the agenda.
