‘It's not the right fit’: Salem mayor urges denial of permit for data center

Salem's Zoning Board of Appeals is set to vote on an appeal from Prime Group Holding to build a facility classified by the city as a data center after its initial permit was revoked. Mayor Dominick Pangallo is urging the board to deny the appeal, citing that the project is not suitable for the city's future, and has also proposed a city-wide ban on data center construction.
