Data Center Prohibition Ordinance

Description

A zoning text amendment defining data centers and banning them outright in every zoning district was introduced 5-0 and heads to an August 12 public hearing.

Impact summary

If finally adopted, no data center could ever be built in Bayonne — a direct response to the community fight over the Newhook Road proposal.
