Hey listeners, welcome to your quick dive into the latest buzz from Apex, North Carolina. In a big move for our town, the Apex Town Council unanimously voted earlier this week to draft a one-year moratorium on new data centers, according to WUNC News. Mayor Pro Tem Terry Mahaffey pushed the idea at Tuesdays meeting, saying it gives staff space to craft smart zoning rules without distractions from projects like the now-pulled New Hill Digital Campus. The council shot down a special committee but handed it to the Environmental Advisory Board for more community input, a win for groups like Protect Wake County Coalition cheering the pause.
