Members expressed strong opposition to data centers being built in their communities, focusing on concerns about water usage, air quality, noise, and damage to farmland and wildlife. Several members shared personal experiences, including a water commission worker warning about aquifer strain, a rural resident describing PFAS-contaminated wells, and others reporting that neighbors developed migraines, worsened asthma, and sleep problems from constant generator noise. A recurring theme was frustration that those making decisions about data centers do not live near them, and many called on the community to spread awareness and push back at the local level.

I don't want them sucking up all our resources and don't want them near me.

My thoughts are absolutely not. I don't trust the technology as it's so early and they haven't shown any proof that they won't do permanent damage to people's health or the surrounding environment.

I am against it , but too many of our every day technologies have to go through a data centers , our phones , hospital records , streaming services, AI…. Plus the towns get revenue because the data centers pay huge taxes and then towns use the money to repair roads etc. I just think it would be really hard to fight it . I wonder how to go about it ? 🤔

Btw, I'd rather deal with people playing pickleball than the deal with a data center in my area.
