Maine Governor Janet Mills vetoes statewide data center moratorium bill
Maine Gov. Janet Mills (D) vetoed legislation on Friday that would have established the first statewide moratorium on large-scale data center construction in the United States, lasting until November 2027. Mills cited concerns about jeopardizing a data center project in Jay, Maine, projected to bring 800 temporary and 100 permanent jobs. Instead, she announced plans to issue an executive order creating a council to study the impacts of large-scale data centers.
