Data center development is a major issue for Bradford land use. At the July 28 Planning Board meeting, officials discussed drafting new ordinances and site plan regulations specifically to manage these facilities. 🧵 #MeetingWatch #BradfordNH
The board is looking at two paths: zoning changes that would require a Town Meeting vote, and site plan regulations that can be implemented via the Select Board. A key focus is setting strict noise decibel limits now to stop developers from asking for variances later.

The next steps involve sharing them with the Conservation Commission before a formal board vote. Stay tuned... https://meetingwatch.org/nh/bradford/planning-board/2026-07-28/
Data center development and zoning are moving to the forefront of the Bradford Planning Board's agenda. During the July 28 meeting, board members and staff discussed the urgent need to draft specific ordinances to regulate these facilities. The discussion highlighted two different approaches: changes to town zoning, which would require a vote at Town Meeting, and site plan regulations that could be managed through the Select Board. One specific area of focus is noise control; the board aims to establish clear decibel limits in the regulations to prevent developers from seeking variances to bypass noise restrictions in the future. These decisions will have long-term impacts on how land is used in our community. Following the meeting, officials scheduled a virtual session to finalize the drafts before moving them to the Conservation Commission and the Board for a vote. As these regulations progress, residents should prepare to weigh in on how data centers will affect our local landscape and noise levels. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/bradford/planning-board/2026-07-28/ #MeetingWatch #BradfordNH
