Stop the AI data center and save our future

A data center in Woodstock is exactly what we don’t need. Not only does it cause extreme noise, air, and water pollution, it spoils our close community that we have built over years. While extreme urbanization has taken place in Woodstock especially more recently adding a data center in Woodstock will destroy the outreach efforts we have created while ruining the wildlife environment. The water data centers use  has to come from the local area as we know which will further pollute water and takes away from the community. A data center is an inessential need a quite frankly a waste of government funds. These funds could and should go to essential efforts such as homeless, bettering our schools, and providing for the community. While in recent years ai use has substantially increased building a data center is only enabling the downfall of the natural environment. Even as a student I understand the negative use and effects of ai and for “building us for the future” this data center is only tearing us down. The future of America if we’re as important as we say we are you will stop the construction of this data center.
