AWS Withdraws Calvert Cliffs Campus

Amazon Web Services withdrew its application for a proposed data center campus near Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant in Lusby, Maryland.

The project, reported by local media as totaling about 2.4 million square feet, followed strong local opposition and a June 23 primary election that shifted the county’s political dynamics. Calvert County is considering a six-month moratorium while reviewing zoning, required studies, and public involvement in data center proposals.
