Baltimore City Council to discuss possible pause on data center development

The Baltimore City Council is set to discuss a proposed one-year moratorium on data center development to allow time to study potential environmental, financial, and grid impacts. This discussion follows the Board of Public Works' approval of a $9 million state grant for a new Johns Hopkins data center, which could be delayed or forced to relocate if the moratorium is enacted. City Council President Z Cohen is encouraging public comment on the proposal.
