MS Solar Grid Data New Orleans East proposal

MS Solar Grid Data. Withdrawn.

A data center proposed on a vacant lot in New Orleans East, steps from homes in a historically Black and Vietnamese American community. The city council passed a one year moratorium and the developer withdrew within hours of the vote in January 2026; planning staff have since recommended a permanent ban on hyperscale data centers.
