From the meeting
In August 2026 the town manager and planning director said the zoning ordinance lacked clear rules for data centers and that the town needed time to study impacts on water, wastewater, electricity, and land use. The emergency moratorium would pause applications for up to 60 days while the town and Planning Board work on amendments. This is an early policy signal, not a procurement, but it flags future planning and regulatory needs.

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.
