Residents in Nottingham, New Hampshire, are voicing strong opposition to a proposed data center, citing concerns over its potential environmental impact on water and natural resources. Critics argue that the facility, known for its high water and energy consumption, poses a risk to local well water quality in Nottingham and Barrington, where every home relies on a well.
Tom Moulton, the proponent of the data center, counters these environmental concerns by stating the project is still in its conceptual phase and would utilize a closed-loop water cooling system, meaning water would not be drawn from the site. Moulton emphasizes the significant tax revenue the data center could bring to the community. A Planning Board meeting to discuss the proposal is scheduled for the upcoming Wednesday.
