LUBBOCK, Texas (KCBD) - Residents urged the Lubbock City Council to pass a 90-day data center moratorium during the first of two public hearings on the proposal.

The proposed moratorium followed a successful citizen petition organized through SAVE Lubbock this past summer.

Residents raise concernsFabian Mata, a north Lubbock resident, told city council Tuesday afternoon he does not trust the city to enforce its ordinances."We don't trust you when you say you're going to put 1,000, 2,000, 5,000 feet [setback] in the data centers in north Lubbock because you don't enforce any of the ordinances," Mata said.
