We, the undersigned residents and concerned community members, call on the Springdale Borough Council to deny approval and block the construction of the proposed data center by Allegheny DC Property Co.

This data center  has created serious concerns about the future of public health, costs, safety, and livability of our community. 

Our Key Concerns Include:

• Health Risks: Data centers often rely on powerful backup generators and other industrial equipment that emit pollution, which may pose long-term health risks to nearby residents.
• Excessive Electrical Usage: The electrical demands of large-scale data centers are enormous and could place significant strain on our local energy grid, increasing the risk of outages and long-term utility costs.
• Noise Pollution: The constant operation of cooling systems, backup generators, and 24/7 maintenance activity will create unacceptable noise levels, particularly harmful in a quiet residential community like Springdale.
• Decline in Property Values: The industrial nature of data centers and their associated risks are known to drive down home values and make the area less attractive for families and future residents.

We respectfully ask you to deny any zoning permits, approvals, or changes related to the building of this data center. In turn, we also ask that we explore alternative community-friendly options to develop the existing property.
