City Council - Jul 14, 2026
Council froze all new data center applications for six months while the city defines what a data center is in its code and studies utility, power, water, and noise impacts. The Planning Commission is worried that without a specific code category, data centers could slip through as light industrial or warehousing, which is permitted by right in some districts.

City Council (Work) - Jun 23, 2026
Hudson wants breathing room before any data center comes knocking. The proposed stay would halt new applications for six months while the city defines what a 'data center' even is in its code and studies power-grid and rate impacts on residents.
