Jay data center developer sought to give Janet Mills ‘cover’ for key veto, emails show$

Emails reveal that a developer for a stalled data center project in Jay, Maine, solicited letters of support to provide "cover" for Gov. Janet Mills' veto of a statewide data center ban. The ban, which would have prohibited new data centers until late 2027, was ultimately rejected after the Legislature failed to override Mills' veto. The data center project that Mills' veto aimed to protect has since stalled, with its operator pulling out.
