From the meeting
At its October 7, 2026 work session, the Planning Board discussed whether to create a moratorium ordinance first for data centers and other large square-footage structures. The group said the moratorium ordinance was the best start and reviewed Wiscasset and Mercer data center moratorium ordinances. It also discussed public hearings, costs, public input, exemptions such as agriculture, and using AI to help create the ordinance.
J. Thomas offered to create the moratorium ordinance for Whitefield.

Questions about this project
What is a pre-RFP?
A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
When will Town of Whitefield issue an RFP for this project?
Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks Town of Whitefield's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.
How can vendors engage with Town of Whitefield before the RFP is published?
Vendors who reach out during the planning window can help shape requirements and build relationships with the decision-makers running the project. A free Civic IQ account sends you the pre-RFPs that fit what you sell, with the AI brief and the decision makers for the top matches in each digest.
