Andover Township data center plan sparks opposition, violent incident at public meeting

A proposed data center in Andover Township, New Jersey, faces intense public opposition following quiet zoning changes by the Township Committee to permit data centers. A recent public meeting escalated into violence as residents raised concerns about environmental impact, water use, and potential tax breaks, prompting a police officer (the mayor's son) to assault a resident. Opponents are now preparing for a legal challenge against the adopted ordinances.
