Dove Creek Residents Push Back Hard on Proposed Data Center-‘Build It Somewhere Else’

Dozens of Dove Creek residents voiced strong opposition to a proposed data center during a packed community meeting. Representatives from Beacon Data Centers said the project is still in early planning stages, with no land purchased yet. Residents raised concerns about water use, energy demand, noise, traffic, and environmental impact. Precinct 4 Commissioner Shawn Nanny publicly opposed the project, urging developers to build elsewhere. Company officials said they would explore mitigation efforts, including wastewater treatment and off-grid energy options. No final decision has been made.
