New Brunswick Drafts Data Center Rules as 122 N.J. Municipalities Adopt Bans or Restrictions
New Brunswick officials have sent proposed data center zoning and land-use regulations to the city's Planning Board for review, a move that would require mandatory site-plan applications, indoor siting, and buffer distances from schools, homes and conservation land. The proposed rules touch two sections of city code and come even though no developer has approached the city about building a data center since a prior proposal was scrapped earlier this year.
