Data Center Moratorium Proposed in Orangetown

A moratorium on new data center construction is proposed in Orangetown, NY, drawing significant public support due to resident concerns about noise and environmental impact, especially regarding Databank's Phase 2 expansion. While the local moratorium is being drafted and would not apply to existing projects, a similar statewide bill awaits gubernatorial approval. Local officials are urging residents to voice their concerns at planning board meetings.
