## Resource

Brentwood City Council is pushing to halt new data centers, with members Faye Maloney and Jovita Mendoza urging a ban to gather community input before acting. The proposal, potentially on the agenda by July, needs full council approval to move forward. Mendoza warns of a speculative “data center bubble” and questions long-term land use, arguing for job creation over revenue. Nearby cities like Oakley have already imposed moratoriums, while Pittsburg faced massive public backlash against a recently approved facility, highlighting growing regional concerns over resource use and community impact.
