Prince George's County, Maryland adopted a two-year moratorium on data center development, the longest pause in the state, citing concerns over electricity costs, grid strain, and environmental impact while the county drafts comprehensive zoning and siting legislation.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Cloud Infrastructure.
