East Greenbush Town Board Considers Data Center Moratorium
The East Greenbush Town Board held a public hearing on a proposed local law to impose a moratorium on applications for permits, site plans, and other land use approvals for data centers.

The proposed law would establish a moratorium for six months, with a possible six-month extension. The board made a motion to close the public hearing, with the vote on the proposed law to occur the following week.
