What happened
The Baltimore County Council unanimously extended the moratorium on data center construction until December 2027. This follows a previous one-year moratorium approved in February 2026, which was set to expire in January 2027. The extension provides county councilmembers more time to discuss how to regulate data centers.

Why it matters
The extension allows Baltimore County to establish regulations for data centers, which are increasingly being built across the United States. This action is part of a trend in the Baltimore metro area, where other jurisdictions have implemented similar restrictions on construction.
