Committee considers proposing resolution to limit siting of AI and crypto data centers

Sep 29, 2026

Dee proposed bringing a warrant-article-style resolution to the March town meeting to create a temporary moratorium on siting high‑impact AI and crypto data centers; she will check petition deadlines with the Town Clerk and cited Royalton's similar 2026 action.

The full story

Dee suggested the Energy Committee draft a resolution for the March town meeting to restrict the siting and construction of AI and crypto data centers in town by creating a temporary moratorium modeled on a recent Royalton warrant article. The minutes quote the Royalton text: “Shall the voters resolve to adopt a policy to be reflected in the town plan to impose a 5-year temporary moratorium on the siting and construction of AI and Crypto Data Centers in Royalton,” and note that Royalton amended the language to focus on "high-impact industrial and commercial uses."
