Maryland Counties Implement Moratoriums on Data Centers Amid Environmental Concerns

Maryland Counties Implement Moratoriums on Data Centers Amid Environmental Concerns

Several counties in Maryland, including Caroline and Montgomery, have enacted temporary moratoriums on data center development. This decision comes as local governments seek to understand the potential impacts of these facilities on the environment, community infrastructure, and public health. Harford County has gone a step further by imposing a complete ban on data centers. The Maryland Tech Council has expressed concerns that the issues associated with data centers are often misunderstood or exaggerated. The moratoriums are intended to provide time for research and the development of appropriate regulations. Harford County Executive Bob Cassilly cited the county's limited electrical capabilities as a reason for the ban, suggesting that allowing data centers without sufficient power would be irresponsible.

A commission in Maryland has begun investigating the deaths of hundreds of Black youth at a former state-run juvenile detention facility in Prince George's County. The House of Reformation Commission, established by the Maryland General Assembly, aims to study how these boys died and were buried in unmarked graves at the former Boys Village site in Cheltenham. The commission's first meeting was held recently, and it includes members like Phyllis Hammond, who discovered her uncle was buried at the site. The graveyard, dating back to the 1800s, is in disrepair, with many graves unmarked. The commission will explore the circumstances of the deaths and consider recommendations for memorializing the site.
