The Town of Brunswick, Maine, has scheduled a public hearing for Nov. 16, 2026, on extending its data center moratorium, according to the published agenda. The same meeting agenda also lists a public hearing on zoning text amendments and an item to set a future public hearing on shellfishing ordinance amendments.
The hearing matters to residents because it concerns local rules governing data center development in Brunswick, as well as broader zoning text changes that could affect land use in the town, according to the agenda documents.
