Vote not scheduled yet on controversial Hagerstown annexation

Hagerstown officials will not vote this month on a proposed annexation that could lead to a potential data center, officials said Tuesday, Nov. 10. Hagerstown Mayor Bill McIntire, after a work session at which city officials discussed the proposed Burkholder-McDade annexation, told The Herald-Mail a vote won't be scheduled on the matter until the City Council is "completely comfortable with everything." City Administrator Scott Nicewarner added that more information needs to be shared with the public before that vote. City officials, during the work session, talked with planning staff about the proposed annexation as well as the potential need to update zoning and land management code regarding data centers. An Oct. 27 city public hearing about the proposed annexation of 172 acres, north of U.S. 40 and Logistics Boulevard and west of McDade Road, drew many commenters opposed to the annexation due to the potential for a data center. Moshe Rubin, chief financial officer for Diversified Capital, has said that while there is no end user identified for the site, a data center is under serious consideration for the site. Concerns commenters raised during the hearing about a potential data center include the impact on electric rates, water use, potential
