March 25, 2008 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- The Los Angeles County has halted plans on Monday to build a $68 million data center facility because 150 wild cats live in the property in mind.

Jan Takata, a representative of the county's chief administrative office, told the Los Angeles Times that figuring out what to do with the cats has put the county in a difficult situation and there are efforts currently under way to relocate the cats.

The new high-tech data center, which was supposed to begin construction in 2007, will be the county's first energy-saving "green" facility - with a vegetated roof and built partially underground - and is to be constructed in the derelict buildings just south of the Rancho Los Amigos National Rehabilitation Center in Downey.

According to reports by Data Center Knowledge, the county is planning to build a 46,000 square foot data center that will be used to process employee payrolls, welfare payments, court documents and other county department records. Planners are also designing the facility to meet the criteria for a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design certification.

As for the cats, the Los Angeles County says it is sending out fliers advertising an initiative called Project Barn Cat where the cats will hopefully be adopted and placed in local barns and equestrian environments where hay makes rats a problem.
