Scarborough to vote on data center moratorium

Scarborough, Maine, is considering a 180-day data center moratorium, with a Town Council vote scheduled for June 3. The proposed moratorium would retroactively apply to applications submitted after April 1, including a specific 52-acre Scarborough Technology Park development whose proposal was rejected as incomplete. Residents and state representatives support the local ban to allow time for the town to establish regulations for data centers.
