Wes Moore signed an executive order establishing a standardized review process for data centers in Maryland that cover 25 megawatts or more. The order requires large data centers to adhere to one standard, one review process, and one public record when seeking state action. Additionally, Moore announced support for repealing the state's tax exemption for data centers. The order also created a Maryland Data Center Task Force and a Data Center Dashboard.
