Harbor Farms data center

Harbor Farms' facility director explained the closed-loop cooling system uses no water, invited commissioners to tour the site, and asked for an exemption so the sale and jobs survive.

Urged the Commission to hold any data center rezoning until an independent environmental and utility impact study is done, citing staggering power and water use, noise and infrasound, and costs passed to taxpayers.

Raised fears about PFAS-coated conduits, groundwater, local heat effects, and infrasound health risks, and warned of electoral consequences if officials don't protect residents.

Asked the Commission to use its power to block the data center, addressing each commissioner's stated values and urging them not to bail out Harbor Farms.

Played a recording of noise from the new Wayland hyperscale data center and pleaded with the Commission to think of residents, living less than a mile from the Harbor Farms site.

Said he assumes money is behind the project but asked the Commission to weigh people and environment, warning it will hurt more than help down the road.
