Kenwood data center developers try to assuage community concerns

Developers for the proposed Kenwood data center in Albany, NY, are attempting to address community concerns regarding water usage, electricity consumption, and potential impacts on utility rates. While they state the project will use air cooling and have its own meter, an opposition group remains concerned about electricity use and environmental effects. Formal applications for zoning changes have not yet been submitted, and the project's online target is after a state-wide moratorium on large data centers expires.
