Colorado House District 64 candidate Maureen Dower will host a public town hall in Greeley about the impacts of data centers in Weld County. The event will address Global AI's planned data center at the former Carestream Health site between Greeley and Windsor, a project recently approved by Weld County commissioners.
Weld County commissioners approved a construction permit for Global AI's data center, set to become Colorado's largest, despite public opposition regarding water usage and noise. The approval followed updates to county data center regulations, though the company faced scrutiny for prior code violations and questions about its power supply. The project is also subject to ongoing annexation plans by the Greeley City Council.
Officials from Greeley and Windsor in Weld County, Colorado, are vying for the annexation and tax revenue of a proposed Global AI data center, which is located between the two municipalities. The project faces strong resident opposition due to environmental concerns and has been cited for construction code violations. Both city councils and the Weld County Commissioners are holding meetings to decide the project's future and address annexation disputes.
Weld County is investigating Global AI's data center project for suspected construction code violations, issuing three stop-work orders. The county alleges Global AI proceeded with unpermitted work beyond allowed renovations, risking legal consequences. The project still needs to undergo a use-by-special-review process before the Weld County Planning Commission and commissioners.
