MASSENA â Town of Massena officials have scheduled a public hearing for 4:30 p.m. Aug. 4 to take comments on a proposal to place a 90-day moratorium on cryptocurrency mining operations in the town while regulations are drawn up to address what they say are unsightly shipping containers. âParticularly the sea boxes or the trailers,â Town Supervisor Steven D. OâShaughnessy said. âWhat we want to put in place is regulations, zoning laws that prohibit the cryptocurrency from just plunking trailers down, like a shipping container.â Mr. OâShaughnessy said they want to ensure that whatever is used for the operations be a presentable building.
