The Calvert County Board of County Commissioners is scheduled to hold a work session on a proposed moratorium on data center projects on July 21, 2026, according to the published agenda. The session, set for 12:10 p.m., will include a memo from Planning & Zoning Director Jason Brinkley requesting the moratorium, the agenda states.
The discussion matters to residents because a moratorium would pause new data center project approvals in the county while officials review policy, according to the agenda. The Department of Planning & Zoning’s request is listed as the first item under the work session portion of the meeting.
Following the work session, the agenda schedules a public comment period at 12:50 p.m. The agenda states that the Board of County Commissioners will accommodate public comment in person.
