Mansfield does not currently have a data center bylaw. The proposal would regulate facilities based on size and type, with larger facilities prohibited and smaller ones subject to special approval. The board also discussed water use, noise, affordable housing strategies, and changing downtown space needs, but the excerpts do not show a final vote on the data center bylaw.
