Residents express concerns about data centre proposed for Quinte West

Amid stiff resistance by communities across Canada fighting new data centres from starting up in their cities and towns, a handful of Quinte West residents are speaking out about a proposed data centre for their city.Residents told members of the city’s Planning Committee June 18 they are concerned about a data centre creating noise pollution, drawing too much electricity the city needs to grow and the possibility it could at some point draw on city water resources to cool the components.
