Hobart’s data center opponents face setback with fill permit approval

Hobart city officials affirmed a fill permit for an Amazon data center, denying appeals from 15 residents and marking another setback for the "No Data Center" group. This decision allows initial dirt movement, with a site plan and environmental studies expected next. Residents are also pursuing multiple lawsuits, one of which recently saw a judge deny their request against the city's Economic Revitalization Area designation.
