New Brunswick Drafts Data Center Rules as 122 N.J. Municipalities Adopt Bans or Restrictions

New Brunswick officials have proposed zoning and land-use rules for future data centers, including mandatory site-plan review, indoor siting, buffers and standards for noise, water use, energy generation and power capacity. The Planning Board will review the rules before the City Council decides whether to adopt them, following the removal of a proposed data center from the Jersey-Sandford redevelopment plan.
