• Scarlet Taranto

  As a local resident, I am deeply concerned about the immediate impact of the 4405 Route 1 project on our community. The noise from industrial cooling fans and the air emissions from massive emergency diesel generators do not belong next to residential neighborhoods and historic areas. We must protect our quality of life.

  There are no “take-backs” regarding data center development. Put the people first by studying the adverse health, economic, and environmental impacts they will have. Why should we be rushed into a decision that will have monumental, irreversible effects. There should be no guesswork when making decisions regarding people’s safety.

• Sarah Bell

  The pinelands need to be protected as do our aquifers and wildlife.

• Alyssa Ortiz

  Want to protect nature from data centers and harm!

• Louise Stillufsen

  Love NJ Association of Environmental Commissions.

• Sarah Brower

  Data centers are ruining the environment wherever they are built. New Jersey’s wild life habitats are too important to be bulldozed over and replaced with factories.

• Frances Spann

  NJ must vigilantly protect its remaining precious natural resources. The degree of development this state is subject to via cloud storage facilities, warehouses, and poorly located high density affordable housing is destroying the pockets of beauty that remain. All of us suffer as a result!

• Steve Larzelere

  To help save the demise of the environment and society as a whole.

• Rita Brown

  The rush to develop data centers will put in place massive structures that destroy the environment and negatively impact communities in the name of "progress" which I feel is truly a danger. Much like the fossil fuel industry created a sense of need and dependency on petroleum products and all its infrastructure and economic impacts that are bad for our health, our families and the environment, these data centers are built to expand the dependency on technology in our everyday lives and unleash AI with all its potential for harm before we fully understand its impact. We need time for a shift in society that protects all of us from these harms and keeps us independent of absolute control by big tech.

  Concern for our environment and quality of life.

• Nicole Showers

  Protect New Jersey and our resources. No data centers!!

• Amelia Maio

  I am concerned about how much of a negative impact this will leave on all our communities. Urban, rural, and everything from our suburban neighborhoods to those who live closer to the shores. Paying settlements for the damage they could have avoided in the first place is not enough of a punishment, it won’t matter to them when they can continue to find loopholes to build these data centers we all don’t want, but have to foot the bill for.

• Christopher Panico

  These data centers are being rushed by developers to avoid any regulations and increase their profits

• Robert Rothschild

• Luke Romano

  Grew up in the pinelands and this very special place deserves much better than to be destroyed to make a very few rich people even richer.

• Mark Ambrosano

  AI data centers are only for collection of our privacy and sending our information to Israel so they can control us, its our land and our lives they should not be taking the land to control us.

• Hallie Bulleit

  AI poses an enormous threat to our land, air and water, not to mention our jobs and way of life. The only way to slow this monster down is to deny it space to grow. That is the power we have, and we should be using it! At least until there are better safely regulations firmly in place AND these data centers can run on their own sustainable energy without harming our health and our grid.

• Lisa Saladino

• Bernadette Schuster

  Protect the Pinelands.

• karina blanco

  Data centers are a leech on the environment and we've already seen the consequences in real time. Residents end up paying hundreds to thousands of dollars extra on water and energy bills to cover for data centers who somehow end up paying negligible amounts compared to how much they consume. And to further that point, they're going to deplete our water which we finally just got back. Or did we not just get out of a drought recently? Well, except for South Jersey I suppose. The Microsoft data center got caught polluting our air and using 62 giant generators and doing construction without permits or care to locals. The residents have also complained about noise pollution. These billion dollar companies think they're above the law, destroy the environment, disrupt local wildlife, reduce the quality of life to the residents, and are a blight on our society.

• Eugene Cheipesh

  My family and friends visit to pine barrens often to enjoy the unique biome and connect with nature and history of the place. Reckless development of hyperscale data centers would destroy an irreplaceable treasure.

• Jennifer Bakley

  Because this needs to stop! Unless they have a different purpose than what we are told, we absolutely DO NOT need to destroy protected land, steal family homes, and deplete every natural resource in the state just so every company can have an AI answering service, internet chat bot, or some other job HUMANS can do better. This country belongs to the CITIZENS, not corporations interested in their bottom line. I understand that some centers are needed, but why thousands? Why can't they find other areas to build them? People want to whine about global warming and protecting the environment, but I guess that's only a priority when it suits a corporations or politicians agenda ?‍♀️

• Sonny Wyld

• Robert Legge

  My family and I very strongly support Proactive protection and conservation of the Pinelands and ALL Green Space in New Jersey, specially in regard to the increasing pressure to sacrifice our Precious lands for the sake of the very Short Term benefits of the "AI" Mega Bubble, which has already led to bankruptcies and the waste of Taxpayer funding. ALL environmental conservation project should be Regularly and Transparently monitored under open and strict controls. Thank you for your very careful attention to these critical environmental matters.

• Wilbert Lemuel

• Janet Molda

  Please follow neighboring states that have placed a moratorium on Data Centers. Current legislation- leaving the decision for Data Centers to “municipalities” is not effective. They are approving construction without full due diligence and full disclosure and accuracy of air pollution, chemical emissions, electricity grid use, and use of water and natural resources. Currently my home is located near the South Brunswick Data Center. Local residents were not properly informed or asked for input. 950 residential units are proposed next to it with senior housing, apartment townhomes, a school currently next to it. Why would NJ permit this? Why is NJ allowing these unsafe chemical emissions for us to live by on a daily badis?The amount of chemicals to be discharged by this data center is unconscionable. I urgently request you to stop the approval of this and all future data centers immediately until you can deem them 100 percent safe for every NJ resident and community- as have neighboring states.

• Jennifer Sanborn

  We need time to look at the health risks involved and to find solutions to how to reduce noise polution from these centers and find renewable options for electricity and gas use by these gas- and electricity-guzzling giants. We also need time to figure out a tax code that is fair to residents and these companies. It’s moving too fast without understanding the harm.

  Our resources are precious. Atlantic County, as far as I know, has no localities that’s explicitly prevent this. Save our water in our resources.

• Christopher Kastner

  Data centers should only be considered in areas that have the infrastructure to support the center without putting the burden on the taxpayer and should no take up valuable farmland or wildlife habitats

• Ruben Blossom

  I believe protecting our air and our water is of upmost importance. We cannot allow the data centers destroy our precious resources. I also do not believe it is appropriate to allow the destruction of land at a scale necessary for hyper scale data centers.

  It is important to pause and think clearly about decisions that have long term environmental impacts, considering human health, the economy and of course the ecology of place in if of itself. A healthy environment and a healthy environment alone, first and foremost, sustains life on this planet-human life included-if that need be the only motivation, then so be it.

• Asmeret Ghebremicael

  I support this moratorium because New Jersey should not approve large-scale data centers faster than it can evaluate their consequences. The state itself now requires data centers to report their water and energy use, reflecting the fact that these facilities can create significant demands on critical resources. New Jersey is also working to address rising electricity demand and energy costs. We need comprehensive information about the cumulative effects of these projects on our electric grid, water resources, communities, and taxpayers before allowing additional large-scale development. A three-year pause is a reasonable, precautionary step that protects the public interest while allowing innovation and responsible economic development to continue.

  Data centers affect the environment and nearby communities.

• John Smith

  We never need these AI Data Centers. On top of community disruption and environmental devastation, these are being built to surveill and target law-abiding citizens and residents with a disturbing level of Mass Surveillance. We can do all we need to do without these AI Data Centers. If any Artificial Intelligence is to ever move forward, the public and scientific and environmental comunity and independent watchdog organizations must have a thorough and engaging debate, and their conclusions and gauranteed safegaurds must be implemented. AI must be thoroughly and heavily regulated, with impentrable safeguards and only used for the betterment of society, not for Mass Surveillance and people posting stupid videos about nothing. It can be used for people of all walks of life to learn how to record music or test our soil and water accurately or make youtube videos of social and comunity value, but how to gain followers by just posting promiscuous content, for example.

• Donald Masucci

• Valerie Smith

  I oppose data centers because they are unregulated - allowed to operate without adequate oversight or accountability. Data Center operators should be required to take responsibility for, bear the financial cost of, and minimize the environmental harm and impacts on surrounding communities caused by their operations.

  There's many reasons why I dont want a data center. First, it pollutes local water which is bad for the people in the area as well as the local wild life. It also has noise pollution and lowers water pressure for everyone around it. It doesnt actually make jobs, it only makes temp jobs that go away when its built, at most only 20 people work at these facilities. There is no real up side that can out weigh ruining life for the people and environment

They take out water, poison out land and people, cause energy prices to skyrocket, and do not create long term job stability for the areas they are in. Not to mention the environmental impacts that we do not know about yet. This is a bipartisan issue that not a single person I know wants on either side of the isle. This has got to stop. Data centers across the US have caused so much destruction and harm already to the citizens living near them. We do NOT want them ruining our beautiful state!

• Larry Braasch

  Data centers use an extensive amount of electrical and natural resources. They also generate ambient sound that is disruptive to neighboring communities and likely have a deleterious impact on wildlife/ecosystems as well. All of these factors should be studied by the DEP and a statewide policy put in force to prevent municipalities from pursing and/or approving without consistency of purpose and authorizations to coincide with a statewide plan. All of these are factors in themselves which should cause those involved to pause and consider the downstream implications for social, economic and environmental concerns. The reality of life though is that we really have no need for such data centers. The best among us use them for bettering the human conditions by helping us to understand ourselves, our communities and our world better to help inform better services or processes etc. Unfortunately the data centers don't have the primary purpose of improving the human's social, community or environment. Instead the primary use data centers is to compile and store data on people. The data center is simply an aggregator and seller of seemingly disparate data points from individual's data (e.g. where one shops or social media posts you viewed and for how long). Seemingly inconsequential data but when connected this data is effectively being sold to corporations simply so they and tactically use the data to subconsciously manipulate individuals into purchasing. Data centers are supporting the commodification of people who are only seen as a target to influence to spend your money in the ways that big corporations want. They will hide behind purchasing choices of the consumer; however, the insidious nature of social media advertising and collection of peoples personal data only so that data can be used against them to try to influence/exploit them for their money. The state just banned cell phones ini schools because we know the negative impact social media has on children. Corporations have vast amounts of information on our children and are constantly working to shape the way they see the world. The danger isn't isolated to children alone either as seniors and vulnerable individuals are subject to scams and stealing of personal data. All of those are economically driven issues as people steal others information for financial exploitations. Data centers serve primarily to turn people into a commodity by using what are effectively clandestine spying against people and then selling that data to anyone who will pay who in turn will use that data to try to manipulate people. The concern also extends beyond economics into that of how we think and act as a society. The overwhelming rise in shifts to extremes on all sides of the political spectrum. Information and more problematic is misinformation which is used everyday to manipulate people. Political parties have , and will, always seek to make their survival and electability primary. Misinformation isn't isolated to this day and age; however, the advance of technology has exacerbated this problem exponentially. People being what we are, we will always need to guard agains some of our more base motivations, but the exponential growth of data centers has fueled this problem faster than we as a collective society can plan on how to accept/reject the use of new technologies. Please stop the data centers and let's pass a law to keep guardrails on such expansive collections and utilization of individuals private information.

• Paul Heery

  We are currently on a path of approving and over-building massive data centers that will be obsolete by the time their construction has been completed. Advances in sparse attention will significantly reduce the computational and energy demands of AI data centers. By limiting token interactions to critical pairs, these mechanisms lower the complexity of attention from quadratic $O(n^2)$ to linear or sub-quadratic $O(n)$, drastically cutting the floating-point operations (FLOPS) required for inference. What happens then? Probably these massive buildings will be repurposed as distribution warehouses bringing along other environmental issues that will impact our local communities. Either way, the construction of these facilities is not good for the people of our state.

  THIS TWP HAS ALWAYS been my home since I was 11, I have loved the country feel of it ! Not so much any more, it's looking like and feeling like a totally different place to live. Please know that I understand change, but to feel like you are being kicked out of the area that has been your home for 50 yrs without any regard or respect for the people that have kept it an awesome place to live is just wrong.!! We already have water restrictions and electric outages on a regular basis, Please don't add to the misery that has already taken place PLEASE, we have always been up for change but not when the very people that have loved the land they live on is turning into nothing more than raping the land of trees , animals and other comforts! It's just wrong !!!!!!!!!! NO DATA CENTER!!

• Mariah Kelusak

  I am signing because I care for the environment and the people in Manchester. The natural ecosystem and the residents of Manchester should be protected, our quality of life should not be destroyed by something that we absolutely DO NOT need. Data centers near communities is inhumane. Shove it up your ass.

• Ernest D'Albero

  We do not want a Data Center in our area. We do not want a drain on our clean water resources and electrical infrastructure.

• Megan Rydell

• Carly DeLucca

  We implore the further study of ecological and human health impacts of these large scale projects. The energy and water used to sustain data centers threatens our natural resources, native flora and fauna, and our health and safety. Communities must have a say in these projects as the noise, water use, and environmental degradation affects us all. These data centers are a huge step back in terms of combating the climate crisis, threatening our future.

• Robin Zukowski

  Terrible place to put a data center - in back of our beautiful Renaissance where seniors are to live out their remaining years - don't need the noise, the pollution, the water needed, the extra electricity - none of it's good!

• Melanie Chiappone

  We are supporters of New Jersey’s natural resources and wildlife as well as our own, and respectfully want Manchester Township to repeal the redevelopment plan for block 62 lot 30 and 31.01 to remove the data center as a permit use. And adopt an ordinance as a 40+ other New Jersey municipalities I’ve already done, to ban data centers from the entire municipality. The reason is because it will deplete our Water and Electricity/energy. And we have blackouts as it is. And you know our infrastructure is not the best. We want to protect our wildlife and preserve our garden state! Don’t you? Manchesters water levels have been dropping in residence like us are now subject to water restrictions. Bringing these water and energy, hungry data centers to our own backyards well exasperate the issue! I mean, does Manchester Township have a way to get us more water or stop the lights from going out? So, for those reasons we respectfully asking for you not to allow this to happen at all! Thank you for your attention in this matter Melanie & Paul Chiappone

  The Pinelands are one of the oldest and last remaining ecological treasures in the state of New Jersey. They should not be marred by data centers, using up the water that the land needs to survive. We cannot allow data centers to destroy the beauty of this state.

• sarah finkle sarah finkle

  Data centers are not yet contructed ethicly yet and use too much water and add toxic waste back into the environment . We need to use our tax dollars towards more benificial outcomes education , planting food or trees will ensure less droughts and wildfires in this area the heat expelled from the data centers is also a factor and can further the risk of more fires . Protecting the area and residents is my concern .

  Data center suck communities dry by causing monumental environmental issues, sky-high utility rates, and loss of available drinking water. Data centers are used for AI, which are failed programs, incapable of understanding flaws and fraudulent data. AI are job stealers, making skilled computer people redundant.

• David Sheaves

• Ana Patel

• Pedro Leiva

  The Renaissance community doesn't need a data center built in its backyard. We live in a community of retired citizens that seek a quiet and peaceful area. If you check what noise, water use and electrical consumption this data center would bring to Manchester, it will make it very difficult for us to live so close to it. Our property values will drop and no one in their right mind would purchase a home in the Renaissance after they realize a data center is so close to our community. Thank you, Pedro Leiva

• Rebecca Krempa

  We need to make it a priority that we look after nature, our health, our communities, our well-beings now and for future generations. Data centers will do nothing to benefit anywhere in New Jersey. There is plenty of evidence that shows the quality of life for the environment, the animals and for people is harmed when data centers are built. It is also disingenuous when it is said new jobs would be created. New jobs will only be temporary while the data center is being built, there will be very little jobs after the the data center is up and operational. You don't need these anywhere in New Jersey. Please look after the citizens of New Jersey and not of the corporations that have no regard for the prosperity and well-being of the communities it will scar.

  Expected water usage in an area already vulnerable and under water restrictions. Noise. The facilities also don't carry their own weight with utility costs being passed on to the general public. Job creation exists only during construction. There is also potential for them to become obsolete within two to five years, leaving behind an empty unusable structure. Souch for increasing the tax base.
