Proposal for data center in Nottingham withdrawn
A developer has withdrawn a proposal for a data center in Nottingham, New Hampshire, due to significant public concerns, especially regarding environmental issues such as water and electricity usage. The withdrawal occurred just before a highly anticipated Planning Board meeting, which had been relocated to accommodate a large turnout of residents.
Developer Tom Moulton has withdrawn his proposal for a data center in Nottingham, New Hampshire, citing significant public concerns. The decision comes ahead of a highly anticipated Planning Board meeting, which had been moved to the Nottingham School to accommodate a large number of expected attendees.
Moulton stated that his withdrawal was influenced by public engagement and concerns about the proposed project, particularly regarding its environmental impact. Critics had raised issues about the data center's potential high demand for water and electricity, a major concern for Nottingham and neighboring towns that depend on well water.
The proposed data center was slated for a location along Route 4. While the application is currently withdrawn, Moulton indicated that he is open to reconsidering the proposal in the future after gathering more information and addressing the raised concerns.
