Residents push back against San Jose’s data center plans

San Jose's plan to encourage data center development is facing significant pushback from residents concerned about environmental impacts and strain on the power grid. Despite city assurances of rigorous vetting and economic benefits, a petition with over 800 signatures was submitted, and residents voiced concerns at a recent City Council meeting. A specific Prologis data center project on a wastewater facility site is highlighted as a point of contention.
