Concerns over power and water usage dominate Lockport discussion on potential data center

Lockport residents expressed strong opposition to a potential data center in the Star Innovation District during the first of three public workshops. Concerns primarily focused on the significant power and water demands of such facilities, and the lack of broad state or federal regulations. While no specific development proposal exists, the city signed a letter of intent with VME Development to explore the property's potential for data centers.
