During a recent government meeting, concerns were raised regarding a proposed data center project that has sparked significant local opposition. Residents expressed worries about potential noise pollution and safety issues, particularly in relation to fire hazards due to the site's proximity to oil fields.

Marian Archer, a landowner with property adjacent to the proposed site, voiced her sister's concerns about compliance issues in Trenton and the risks associated with the heat and oil in the area. Another resident, Jardine Bergstrom, requested an executive session to discuss confidential matters related to a non-disclosure agreement (NDA), but was informed that the meeting could not proceed in that manner due to legal requirements for public notice.

Bergstrom, who lives close to the proposed data center, highlighted the need for a noise study, citing ongoing complaints from residents about constant low-level noise from similar facilities. She expressed her opposition to the data center's location, arguing that it would significantly impact her quality of life and property value. Bergstrom also noted that natural land contours could mitigate noise, suggesting that the data center's placement should be reconsidered.

Craig Stern, a local construction company owner, also submitted a letter opposing the project, emphasizing concerns about the impact on his truck drivers' sleep quality due to noise from the data center.

The meeting underscored the community's apprehension about the data center's potential effects on residential life, with residents calling for more thorough assessments and consideration of their concerns before any decisions are made. The board acknowledged that further public hearings would be necessary, allowing residents additional opportunities to voice their opinions and concerns regarding the project.
