The Brunswick Town Council has scheduled a public hearing for Nov. 16, 2026, to consider an extension of its data center moratorium, according to the published agenda.
The hearing is listed as item 131 on the agenda, titled “Public Hearing Data Center Moratorium Extension,” with a supporting document identified as “131. PH DATA CENTER MORATORIUM EXTENSION.PDF.” The same meeting agenda also includes a public hearing on zoning text amendments (item 130) and an item to set a future public hearing on shellfishing ordinance amendments (item 132), according to the agenda.
