West Virginia Data Center Project Faces Opposition; Residents Seek Local Input

Zina Rayes and Jacob Muscavage were observed discussing a proposed data center project near Davis, West Virginia, during a picnic and protest held at Canaan Valley Resort State Park on June 14. Opponents of the data center are advocating for increased local input on such developments, drawing a comparison to historical decisions made in the late 1980s when West Virginia counties gained more authority over garbage disposal issues.
