Hello my name is Caleb Forbis, I have been a resident of Montgomery County my whole life (28) years. I am the grandson of Michael (late) and Terri Scarlet who own 12+ acres less than a quarter mile from Danville conservation. Myself, my mother and brother lived on that property. 

While growing up on a rural black top road there weren't that many things to do, one thing about it there was wildlife to watch and learn about out there still is. With this data center wanting to come in and build on crop ground and habitats where will all of them animals GO.

Looking at the grid of where they would like to build at the south of the south service road right off major highway I-70. What are going to be safety concerns ( have you thought about an 80,000 pound semi running through a building) containing all of this power running these servers? From my time being an active firefighter I have seen some terrible semi accidents way off the highway.

 Has there been studies done on these data centers about health? what kind of pollution these types of centers put out not only for humans but for the animals. 

As studies show these centers are being cooled with water and some with fan. Where are they going to get their water supply at? Are they going to drill a well into our water system? What's going to happen when these buildings drain our water table?  Run water lines? How about sanitary? Are they running new lines or dig lagoons?                                                                                                                        Studies show that these systems produce 92 decibels per building, that is enough for hearing loss over an extended period of time. Imagine multiple buildings together what kind of problem that is going to cause for the residents living close by these data centers.                                           

I have two children that I am raising. I want them to grow up the same way I did, out in the country where when you turn onto RB you see wildlife immediately, not some big warehouse's. Producing all this noise and harmful pollution into the air. A place where we can go on walks and not have to look at big metal buildings, or destroyed habitats for animals.                                           

Thank you, concerned residents and I oppose this idea of data centers.
