Multiple data centers proposed at former power plant site

Montgomery County's June 12, 2026 update says County Executive Marc Elrich signed an executive order calling for a six-month pause on permit applications for new data centers. Public testimony and advocacy materials identify the Dickerson proposal as a key project affected by the pause, and accessible reporting says Montgomery County leaders were also considering a two-year moratorium amid debate over the planned Dickerson complex. The project remains planned/permitting, not canceled.
