Worcester County Pauses Data Center Permits | Dover News

Worcester County has paused all new permits for data centers and cable landing stations for 12 months — or until they decide to lift it — to give staff time to craft smarter, more thoughtful regulations. No new applications will be accepted, and existing ones are on hold. This proactive pause comes in response to community concerns, like those over a proposed station near Berlin’s historic cemetery, and aims to avoid future conflicts by learning from other jurisdictions and consulting experts. Pending appeals and zoning cases related to these projects are also frozen until the moratorium ends. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
