One of the state’s largest data centers is coming to Parker. Some locals aren’t happy.

Construction is underway for a large Flexential data center in Parker, Colorado, which received local government approval after zoning changes. Many residents are unhappy, claiming they were unaware of the project and public hearings, raising concerns about its environmental impact, including noise, water, and electricity use. A state bill to impose environmental regulations on data centers was rejected, while Denver's City Council enacted a moratorium on new data centers.
