Residents of Port Washington crowded that city’s Common Council chambers as details of a planned A-I Data Center were discussed and reviewed. Located just north of the city along I-43, the plant would be one of the largest such installations being built so far.
Opinions on the project vary widely; the Common Council approved an agreement with Vantage Data Centers in August to build the $8 billion plant, but some residents are concerned about the environmental impact the construction will have on the area. Supporters see it as a boost to the local economy.
Port Washington Mayor Ted Neitzke says he believes the project will bring in nearly $3 billion to the county during the construction phase alone.
