Highland Heights Council to Hear First Reading of Data Center Moratorium Oct. 13

The Highland Heights City Council is scheduled to hold a meeting on Oct. 13, 2026, during which council members are scheduled to consider the first reading of Proposed Resolution 46-2026, according to the published agenda.

According to the agenda, the resolution would impose a moratorium on data centers in the City of Highland Heights, Ohio, for a period not to exceed six months from the effective date of the resolution. The agenda states the pause is intended to allow City Council time to address the matter, though the published text does not specify further details on the scope of that review.

The matter is relevant to residents because it concerns whether new data center development will be permitted to proceed in the city while the proposed moratorium is in effect, according to the agenda listing. The item is listed under business associated with Mayor Chuck Brunello Jr. and Council as a Whole.

  • Meeting date: Oct. 13, 2026
  • Location: Highland Heights, Ohio
  • Agenda item: First Reading of Proposed Resolution 46-2026
  • Proposed moratorium duration: Not to exceed six months from the effective date
  • Subject: Moratorium on data centers in Highland Heights

According to the agenda, this is listed as a first reading, a standard step in the city’s legislative process before a resolution can be acted on further. The published agenda does not include additional details on subsequent steps or timelines beyond the first reading.

Residents seeking more information can review the full agenda posted by the City of Highland Heights and may attend the Oct. 13, 2026 council meeting in person to observe the proceedings or provide public comment, consistent with the city’s standard meeting procedures.
