East Fishkill Town Board Approves Three-Year Moratorium on Data Centers Following Community Opposition

The East Fishkill Town Board in New York has approved a three-year moratorium on new data center construction following significant community opposition. Residents and advocacy groups successfully pushed for this pause to allow time to evaluate potential impacts such as increased electricity and water demand, noise, and environmental concerns. This action mirrors similar measures taken by other New York municipalities and ongoing efforts for a statewide moratorium.
