Lowell to hold public forum on data center zoning

Lowell is holding a public forum to gather resident feedback on data center zoning reform, driven by ongoing community concerns and a recently enacted 360-day moratorium on new data center development. This comes amidst a lawsuit filed by residents challenging the expansion of the Markley Group's facility and its associated environmental permits. The city is auditing and updating its zoning code, which currently lacks specific definitions and standards for data centers.
