Amazon Pulls Data Center Plans from Calvert Cliffs | Washington DC News

Amazon’s massive data center plans for Maryland’s Calvert Cliffs site are officially off after voters turned against the project, unseating three commissioners in a stunning local election upset. In response, Calvert County is imposing a six-month pause on new data center approvals to reassess zoning and environmental impacts — part of a broader state trend where nearly 77% of Marylanders live under moratoriums. While Amazon’s deal is dead, Constellation, the plant’s owner, insists the region’s potential for responsible, clean-energy-driven digital growth remains alive — proving that local elections are now powerful forces shaping the future of tech infrastructure.
