Maine's Democratic Governor has vetoed a bill aimed at pausing the construction of new data centers across the state. The legislation sought to implement a statewide moratorium on further data center development.
The proposed measure was widely described as the first of its kind in the United States, seeking to establish a freeze on new data center projects within a U.S. state.
The Governor's decision prevents the immediate halt of new data center construction in Maine. This is a developing story and will be updated as details emerge.
