Maine Governor Janet Mills has vetoed a bill that would have temporarily brought permits for new data centers to a halt.
If it had become law, L.D. 307 would have imposed the countryΓÇÖs first statewide moratorium on new data centers ΓÇö lasting, in this case, until November 1, 2027. The bill also called for the creation of a 13-person council to study and make recommendations on data center construction.
