EASTON, MARYLAND — There is no Talbot data-center applicant. Resolution 395 was unanimously approved Sept. 8, 2026. County Attorney Patrick Thomas called the pause “proactive,” judging there are currently no developers proposing data centers in the area, the Star Democrat reported after the Aug. 11 introduction.
Follow the permit: Thomas also told the Council data centers are not currently a permitted use in the zoning code. The Aug. 11 minutes and highlights, posted afterward, set a public hearing on the Community Reinvestment and Repair Fund distribution plan during the Council meeting that began at 5 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 8, 2026, in the Bradley Meeting Room. Star Democrat reporting said Resolution 395 would be open to public comment that night. That Sept. 8 meeting has occurred; the Council unanimously approved Resolution No. 395 after the public hearing on the 12-month moratorium.
Keasha Haythe voted not to introduce the resolution on Aug. 11 and said, “The moratorium to review it is certainly fine, but nine times out of 10, a data center has not looked at Talbot County.” Federalsburg / Fieldstone is Caroline County — watch only, not a Talbot project.
