The Caddo Parish Natural Resources Committee convened to address the water and environmental implications of a proposed data center in the parish. All five committee members were present at the meeting.
Multiple citizens attended to vocalize their concerns regarding the potential data center. Key issues raised by residents included the impact on wildlife, local water resources, and noise pollution. One man, whose family has owned land in the area for over 115 years, spoke about his personal observations, noting a significant decline in wildlife and a drop in water levels in a pond that had never previously lost water since its construction in 1937.
Attendees indicated their intention to continue participating in future sessions related to the data center project, vowing to keep their voices heard on the matter.
