Fiber expansion in western Maine tied to Jay data center project

Maine Governor Janet Mills vetoed a proposed statewide data center moratorium, citing the need for an exemption for a locally supported project in Jay. This decision clears the way for the redevelopment of the former Androscoggin Mill in Jay into a data center, a project expected to bring significant economic benefits to the region. The governor acknowledged concerns about data center impacts but prioritized local economic recovery.
