Data Center Dynamics reports that Peculiar removed data centers from its light-industrial ordinance, blocking Diode Ventures' proposed Harper Road Technology Park.

Diode Ventures is the project developer and the ordinance action establishes a blocked/paused development path, not a workload disclosure.
