Moratorium on Data Centers in Orange County

[Sheila Kerrigan]

Dear Commissioners,

Thank you for your efforts to make Orange County a sustainable place.

I strongly support a moratorium on new data centers in Orange County. Not just a moratorium, but a ban. The amount of water they suck up is unsustainable. 

And I support a ban on ICE detention facilities in Orange County, too, if anybody asks.

Dear Sheila Kerrigan,

 

On behalf of the Orange County Board of Commissioners thank you for sharing your viewpoints on data centers and detention centers.  We have a public hearing on a one-year moratorium on large-scale data centers at our April 21, 2026 business meeting at 7pm at Southern Human Services.

 

Sincerely,

Jean

 

Jean Hamilton, Chair

Orange County Board of Commissioners
