Developer proposes data centers in Colchester, drawing concern from residents

Renew Developers is proposing two data center buildings on Old Amston Road in Colchester, including a 20,000-square-foot facility, but the project would require zoning approval and review by the Connecticut Siting Council. Residents are raising concerns about clearing wooded land, traffic, noise, water use, lighting, property values and the area's character, with some discussing a petition.
