Dickerson data center developers ‘have a right to go forward’ in planning process, Elrich says

Montgomery County Executive Marc Elrich said the developers of a planned data center complex in Dickerson, Maryland "have a right to go forward" in the county's planning process, despite arguments from the data center company's attorneys against a potential moratorium on data center development in the county. The county is considering regulations for data centers, and the prospect of a moratorium on new data centers did not sit well with the California-based company Atmosphere Data Centers, which is planning a 300 MW data center on a former coal plant site in Dickerson.
