Wiscasset officials are considering whether to allow the construction of a large data center near a shuttered nuclear energy plant. A site assessor approached the town about the possibility of building a center on town-owned property next to the former Maine Yankee Atomic Energy Plant, but the idea is in “its earliest stages,” the town said Tuesday. The town has not named the assessor or the company behind the potential development.
