The Pacific, Missouri City Council is scheduled to discuss a proposed 12-month moratorium on new data center construction at its Aug. 18, 2026 meeting, according to the published agenda.
The agenda materials include public comments urging council members to pause approval of new data center projects for one year, specifically requesting that the Beltline site be included in any moratorium. According to the agenda record, one resident described Beltline as forested land where no data center has previously been built and asked the council to “govern on factual planning” in considering the stay. The agenda also lists resident Nancy Watson as having addressed the council on the matter, though the full content of her remarks is not specified in the published record.
The matter is relevant to residents because it concerns whether the city will temporarily halt new data center development, including at the Beltline property, while the council considers the issue further.
