New Bedford Slams the Door on AI Data Centers as Power, Water, Neighborhood Fears Force Citywide Freeze

New Bedford officials are moving toward a citywide prohibition on data centers, treating it as a temporary pause so planners can write rules for large-scale AI facilities rather than the smaller server rooms assumed when current zoning was adopted. The City Council’s ordinance committee recommended the measure on October 26 after the Planning Board unanimously backed it on October 7, sending it to the full council.
