A reader of the Lockport Journal responded to Niagara County Legislator Randy Bradt's published commentary titled 'Upstate's continued population loss is no surprise'. The reader expressed agreement with many of Bradt's points, particularly highlighting the high cost of utilities as a significant problem. While also concurring with the legislator's stance on solar panels, the reader explicitly stated that an 'AI data center is not a positive development' for the region. This indicates an underlying opposition or concern regarding the impact of data center development, likely linked to the discussion of utility costs, though no specific data center project is named or detailed.
