Data centers zoning bylaw

Board advanced a draft bylaw that would likely ban large hyperscale data centers, allow mid-sized facilities by special permit in industrial zones, and exempt small ones; referred to Select Board for Town Meeting with public hearings March 11 and 25.
Why this matters: Limits big data centers citing energy, water, environment
