San Jose Pursues Data Centers as Residents and Lawmakers Raise Concerns
San Jose is actively courting data center development for tax revenue, including a proposed 99-megawatt Prologis facility in South San Jose and additional complexes in North San Jose. Residents and some lawmakers oppose further construction because of power demands, emissions, noise, water use and neighborhood impacts, while the city considers stronger standards and California adopts related disclosure and cost-allocation rules.
