Episode Details

Harford County just became Maryland’s first to ban new data centers, sparked by local residents who formed “Our Land, Our Home, Our Harford” to stop a facility near their homes—fearing industrial harm and community disruption. Across the state, counties like Montgomery and Frederick have imposed moratoriums to study impacts and regulate growth, while Maryland’s tech industry warns against stifling economic opportunity. With electrical capacity concerns driving Harford’s decision and legal battles over land use looming, the debate intensifies as lawmakers prepare for legislative action—some pushing for taxes instead of bans, others demanding no data centers at all.
