A rezoning hearing for a potential data center in Jackson has been postponed until June.
The applicant, Saxum Investment Company, asked to delay the hearing until a city Planning Board meeting on June 24. Robert Ireland, an attorney with Watkins and Eager representing Saxum, said the company wants more time to engage with the community and city.
Because the request was made less than five business days before Wednesday’s meeting, Saxum had to go before the Planning Board on Wednesday to ask for the postponement.
