California democrats seek to block data center at NAVWAR site in San Diego
San Diego-area congressional Democrats plan to introduce legislation that would block construction of a potential 400-megawatt data center at the federally owned NAVWAR site near Old Town unless local government approval is obtained. The Manchester Group, selected by the Navy to redevelop the site, says no data center plans have been finalized and no negotiations are underway.
San Diego congressional Democrats say they plan to introduce a bill requiring local government approval before construction of a potential data center at the Navy’s federally owned NAVWAR site near Old Town. The proposed facility could have a capacity of 400 megawatts, making it a major development at the redevelopment site.
The Manchester Group, which was selected by the U.S. Navy to redevelop NAVWAR, has explored the data center concept but said the project is not finalized and that no negotiations are currently underway. The legislation would give local officials a role in approving or blocking construction.
