@nbcconnecticut: Should Cromwell hit pause on data centers? The town’s Planning and Zoning Commission is considering a six-month moratorium as a developer explores building a data center near homes and a school. Neighbors are raising concerns about noise, air quality and water use, while the developer says the project could bring jobs and millions of dollars to the town. #Cromwell #Connecticut #DataCenter #CTNews #NBCCT

Tim yankee :

Forgot to mention its right next to an elementary and middle school

scarlato33 :

Build it in Greenwich,

Dawn Parker :

Oh right, Lamont literally just said we weren’t going to be having data centers… https://www.wshu.org/connecticut-news/2026-09-07/ct-data-centers-ned-lamont

Dex :

Only if they put it on the golf course 😂

A. :

Data centers or warehouses shouldn't even be in consideration for being built anywhere in CT. If they want to built those why not use old abandoned and polluted industrial areas that could use them but they always want pristine land?!

April Huckaby❌❌ :

why are we even talking about six month moratorium, it's not my neighborhood, but I do feel for the people that are not gonna be able to sleep, not drink their water, I don't even understand why this is on the table to begin with

C :

they should say no, permanently. the company is lying. nothing good comes from a data center near your neighborhood

jaxcomet :

Nobody is stopping data centers. It’s critical to the US remaining a power nation in the future.

samhain🎃💫 :

Right as the AI bubble is popping

ButFumbl3 :

Why do data centers need to use potable water? Why can’t they just recirculate non potable water? Didn’t think this was rocket surgery

TylerB32 :

Of course they want to build it down the street from me 😭😭

zerocool :

directly next to our brand new middle school. the developers are lying. theyre absolutely lying.

robert58 :

lies

idiot_chickens3 :

YES!!! No more datacenters in CT

SauceForDays :

Cut the tax benefits

nguarinoick :

lets put something in the middle of the suburbs that nobody will benefit from instead of the metropolitan cities that benefit from it and nobody wants those da jobs

Bella :

Stay out of our town !

Jaimec024 :

Should also be worried about the fact the town hasn’t adapted FD and PD for the growth of the town over last couple years.. a fire breaks out on this data center…. And those millions would not go to the resources that would be needed to deal with it

chihuahualover347 :

Put it in Lamont’s backyard

️ :

yes create noise pollution in a quiet town where people pay 400k for a ran down shack they call a house…

HELL to the no, from a neighbor in Portland

DRS247365 :
