Holyoke residents lash out over proposed data center

Chestnut River Power has proposed a $200 million, 20-megawatt data center on a vacant industrial site in Holyoke, Massachusetts. Residents are vocally opposing the project, citing concerns over potential strain on the city's water and power infrastructure. A petition is circulating, and the proposal is expected to be a hot topic at an upcoming city council meeting.
