Planning Board asks Butternuts to consider moratorium on battery-storage and data centers
Summary
The town Planning Board asked the Town of Butternuts to consider a moratorium on battery storage and data centers; Supervisor Giuda said he will consult the Town Attorney about next steps.
During reports on June 10, Supervisor Bruce Giuda said the Planning Board requested a moratorium on any battery storage or data centers within the Town of Butternuts. Giuda told the board he would discuss the request with the Town Attorney to determine whether the town can enact a moratorium and what legal route would be required.
The minutes do not record debate, a motion, or a vote about imposing a moratorium; they record only that the Planning Board asked for the moratorium and that Giuda would consult legal counsel. The record also notes the town does not have zoning, which the Supervisor said limits enforcement options for other property issues discussed in the meeting.
