LAVON SAY "NO" TO DATA CENTER
The Issue
Planned in the middle of Elevon Homes surrounded by thousands of families, not in the middle of nowhere. Constant 24/7 noise from giant cooling fans that carries for miles. Massive electricity and water usage that will drive up everyone's bills. Air pollution from backup generators, light/heat pollution. Zero permanent local jobs, just a handful of techs, most won't even live here. Homeowners get NOTHING: no tax breaks, no rebates, no benefits. They're turning our neighborhoods into an industrial zone for Big Tech and calling it "progress."
Details:
A 79-acre hyperscale data center is massive and can consume between 50 MW and 200 MW of continuous power, depending on if it is standard cloud infrastructure or an intensive AI-focused facility. This is equivalent to powering anywhere from 40,000 to 160,000 average U.S. homes.
A 79-acre data center will use between 1 million and 5 million gallons of water per day for cooling, equivalent to the daily water needs of a town of 10,000 to 50,000 people. Total annual consumption can range from 365 million to over 1.8 billion gallons, depending on the cooling technology and local climate.
Data centers emit sounds from the humming of cooling systems, rumbling of diesel generators, and whirring of fans, which can be heard for hundreds of feet around them.
Noise pollution is regulated at the local and state levels through zoning ordinances, but for a time in the 1970s, the Environmental Protection Agency oversaw noise pollution and conducted noise-control investigations. It still has the legal authority to do so.
Because there is a lack of reliable data from sound level meters and because most county or community noise ordinances are written to address noisy block parties (rather than data centers), most noise complaints go nowhere, leading to frustration and lower property values.
I am a current resident of Lavon. When I spoke with the City Manager they acted like there was nothing that Citizens can do to stop the DATA Center from being built. They did not have any answers on the impact on our water, electricity, noise, or general quality of life. This is not an inevitability and we do have a voice to stop.
Please consider signing this petition to protest this being built.
