Falmouth’s town meeting is scheduled to consider a zoning amendment on Sept. 8, 2026, that would add a formal definition of “Data Center” to the town’s zoning code for the first time, according to the published agenda.
The agenda item proposes inserting a new definition into Chapter 240-3.2 of the Code of Falmouth, Zoning. According to the published agenda text, the article asks “the Town will vote to amend the Code of Falmouth, Chapter 240, Zoning as follows: 1. By inserting new definition for Data Center to section 240-3.2 to read as follows: Data Center: A facility, or portion thereof, primarily designed or used to house computer servers and related.”
The matter is relevant to residents because it would establish, for the first time in Falmouth’s zoning code, an official definition governing what qualifies as a data center facility within town limits, according to the agenda.
