Brookhaven Town Board on Long Island has unanimously approved an 18-month moratorium on new data center development, freezing all applications pending a comprehensive study of environmental and infrastructure impacts.

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

◆ The Wire takeaway

If you're planning to site a data centre on Long Island or any East Coast municipality, expect 18-month delays and tighter environmental screening as the default — Brookhaven's moratorium is a template other towns will copy, and it blocks new capacity just as demand peaks.
