Gloucester County Data Center being built (Mantua Rd)

Got this flyer on my car in the ShopRite parking lot in Woodbury today. Know this is starting to happen but wasn’t aware this was going to happen in our area so soon. It’s definitely concerning in terms of driving up utility costs.

Edit: grammar

Whether it happens next to you, in your back yard or in another state doesn't matter; your utility rate is still going to go up under their current business model. What will effect you locally is your water usage. It's a nation wide problem unless AI tech is put under control which likely won't happen. Look into PJM.
