• Updates on the Cloud: More Moratoriums on Data Centers (rockinst.org) — Perth residents should know the town has already enacted a one-year moratorium on any new data center development, citing energy use and local control concerns. A similar one-year statewide pause on large data centers has passed the Legislature and awaits the governor’s decision, while other New York communities debate massive projects that could affect power, water, and neighborhood character.
