The Princeton City Council commenced discussions on implementing new regulations to exert greater authority over future data center developments during a lengthy meeting on Monday, June 8. This session, which ran until 11:26 p.m., included items deferred from a previously canceled meeting due to a lack of quorum.

The ISD is participating in a national summer meals program, offering free on-site meals to children 18 and younger on weekdays. The article text did not provide further details on the city council's data center discussions.
