By Keith M. Phaneuf, CT Mirror Senate Democrats struck a compromise Monday with Gov. Ned Lamont to fast-track incentives for data center development in Connecticut while also addressing environmental concerns over their operation. The Senate overwhelmingly gave final approval Monday to the data center incentives measure, as well as a second bill that pledges roughly $110 million to $120 million in new general government aid to cities and towns but doesn’t commit the funds right now. Both bills cleared the House of Representatives last week and now head to Lamont, who is expected to sign both. “There’s a recognition that with the new industry, particularly the data center industry, we need to have some environmental considerations in place,” said Sen. Christine Cohen, D-Guilford, who co-chairs the legislature’s Environment Committee.
