📰 News we're reading

• Town Passes Data Center Moratorium (lilifepolitics.com) — Brookhaven officials have imposed an 18‑month halt on all data centers, stopping projects like the proposed Yaphank facility while they rewrite town code for AI‑driven computing sites. The move parallels a broader state moratorium and a new Islip ban, as local leaders weigh economic benefits against infrastructure, environmental, and community impacts.
