Monterey Park neighbors push back on proposed data center, citing environmental and health concerns

Neighbors in Monterey Park, CA are protesting a proposed 247,000 sq ft data center project, citing concerns about the environmental and health impacts from air pollution, noise pollution, and heavy water usage in their community. The data center would require diesel generators and a new substation from the local utility, which residents say is incompatible with their neighborhood. Local experts have voiced concerns about the project's energy and water demands.
