The Mesa Planning Commission has unanimously recommended approval for a massive 2.2 million-square-foot data center project. The decision was made during a quiet, sparsely attended 10-minute meeting on May 13.
This outcome stands in stark contrast to the intense public opposition experienced by other data center developments in the region, such as the Price Road Innovation Campus project in Chandler, which faced a "raucous" four-hour meeting with significant public pushback last December. Data center projects throughout the Valley are reportedly encountering increased scrutiny from local communities.
