## Resource

Jersey City just voted unanimously to ban data centers from industrial zones — a bold move to align with its 2020 Master Plan and address growing concerns over energy use, water consumption, and urban sprawl. While not targeting data centers in downtown office buildings like Newport, the amendment specifically shuts down standalone facilities in industrial areas. This follows a national trend, with Bayonne’s new mayor pushing for a total ban, and New Jersey’s state plan aiming to regulate data centers while positioning the state as a leader in AI innovation.
