Federalsburg becomes first Eastern Shore jurisdiction to ban data centers
The Federalsburg Town Council in Maryland has unanimously approved an ordinance to ban data centers within town limits, making it the first jurisdiction on the Eastern Shore to do so. This decision follows significant public opposition to a proposed data center project by Wright Road LLC and comes after the town had previously enacted a three-year data center moratorium. The council's action overruled a recommendation from the town's Planning and Zoning Commission, which had advised against the ordinance as written.
