“None known” means no record in Moratorium Nation and nothing detected in the documents we read; for governments we do not monitor yet it says nothing either way.
“- A LOCAL LAW ENDING TEMPORARY MORATORIUM ON THE SUBMISSION AND PROCESSING OF BUILDING PERMITS, CERTIFICATES OF OCCUPANCY, CERTIFICIATES OF USE AND LAND USE APPROVALS FOR INDUSTRIAL SOLAR AND BATTERY ENERGY STORAGE…”
“The Town of Mohawk does not have adequate regulations in place regarding data centers and its Zoning Law needs to be updated to respond to emerging problems with the siting of potential data centers.”
“The committee agreed to recommend to the Council to prohibit battery storage in the City of Amsterdam and for the solar moratorium to end without modification to the City code.”

Moratorium records marked “Moratorium Nation” come from the Moratorium Nation inventory by Michael J. Bommarito, licensed CC BY 4.0; status follows that inventory, and we mark a record ended once its recorded end date has passed. Records marked “Siting Radar” are our own detections in public meeting documents: the status is the latest step we saw, with a link to the source. Not legal advice.
