Logan Considers Rules to Limit the Size and Location of Data Centers
Logan officials are considering where and under what conditions data centers could be built in the city. They have outlined potential rules and are seeking community feedback before adopting a policy.
Logan officials are developing potential regulations for data center construction, including guidance on where such facilities could be located and limits on their size. The city is seeking feedback from residents before deciding whether and how to permit future projects.
The discussion is focused on establishing a local framework rather than approving a specific data center development. Officials’ preliminary approach would allow data centers in Logan, but potentially restrict them to facilities substantially smaller than a typical new Target store.
