开发商 Metrobloks 的首席执行官 Ernest Popescu 今夏已同意在田纳西州纳什维尔建设一个数据中心，但当地领导人通过了一项暂停令，实际上禁止新项目直至 12 月。
Ernest Popescu had agreed to build a data center in Nashville, Tenn., this summer when local leaders passed a moratorium effectively banning new projects through December.
漫长延期的前景促使 Popescu 撤回计划，转而专注于其他开发项目。从那时起，Popescu 注意到为数据中心提供资金的投资者更加担心暂停令会在全国各地冒出来，以及在即将到来的选举后这类暂停令可能变得更加普遍。
The prospect of a lengthy delay prompted the chief executive of developer Metrobloks to withdraw and focus on other developments. Since then, Popescu has noticed investors who finance data centers worrying more about moratoriums popping up across the country and the likelihood that they could become more widespread following the coming elections.
