## Resource

St. Charles County has slapped a six-month pause on new big data center projects, sparking debate over tech’s impact on health, water, energy, and community life — following the city’s full ban. The moratorium targets facilities over 100,000 sq ft or using over 5 megawatts, with some council members pushing for longer, but legal limits apply. Residents cheering the move say their concerns are finally being heard. Meanwhile, the county’s senior property tax freeze just got easier — no annual reapplying needed, just a heads-up if life changes.
