Goal

As nonprofits focused on protecting the Pinelands, Barnegat Bay, and the surrounding communities, we strongly oppose the construction of large data centers.
This new generation of Data Centers has extremely large water and energy needs, which place a burden on host communities. They can also have devastating impacts to wildlife and the environment. We must protect people and the environment from data centers.
Other towns have banned data centers. Now Manchester has the only lots in the Pinelands (block 62: lots 30 and 31.01) zoned for data centers.

Sign the Petition: No Data Centers in Manchester
We, the undersigned residents and supporters of Manchester Township, the Pinelands, and New Jersey's natural resources, respectfully urge the Manchester Township Council to:
1. repeal the redevelopment plan for Block 62, Lots 30 and 31.01 to remove “data center” as a permitted use, and;
2. adopt an ordinance, as ~40+ other NJ municipalities have already done, to ban data centers from the entire municipality.
Unprecedented Energy and Water Demands
A new generation of hyperscale data centers is being constructed across the country that requires enormous amounts of electricity and water.
Manchester already experiences frequent blackouts, and residents have been grappling with rising electricity prices driven by data center demand. Water levels have already been dropping and Manchester residents are now subject to water restrictions. Bringing these water-and energy-hungry data centers to our own backyards will only exacerbate these issues.
Protect Residents from Noise Pollution
Data centers also have major impacts on host communities that are subjected to the constant noise and pollution of hastily built data centers, as residents of the city of Vineland have already been experiencing.
For residents, this can mean a diminished quality of life. For wildlife, these impacts could be more profound, especially for nocturnal species like the Pine Barrens tree frog and the Barred owl that rely on sound.
Time to be Proactive, Not Reactive
New York recently became the first state in the nation to adopt a statewide moratorium on new hyperscale data centers. New Jersey has not—despite the fact that 65% of New Jerseyans support a ban on new data centers until our energy crisis is addressed. With nothing but “guardrails” from the state government, it is clear that municipalities must take steps to protect themselves.
Over 40 towns across New Jersey have passed ordinances to ban data centers this year, and many more are discussing them. Manchester Township Council must do the same.
This petition makes the following requests:
We urge the Manchester Township Council to:
1. Repeal the redevelopment plan for Block 62, Lots 30 and 31.01 to remove “data center” as a permitted use
2. Adopt an ordinance, as ~40+ other NJ municipalities have already done, to ban data centers from the entire municipality.
Manchester cannot sustain the cost of the data center, either financially or environmentally. This will not enhance our quality of life.
Keep data centers out of Nanchester
We do not need a Data center in Manchester. Our resources are already short
i was raised in manchester
I don’t agree... I don’t want this near our community..
We must protect our environment!
Not wanted where we live. Will cause high water and power demands on our system. Not to mention many other issues.
They are a danger to our community - especially since we are a 55+ community. It will affect wildlife, electricity, water, etc. WE DON'T NEED IT AND WE DON'T WANT IT!!!!
Save the Pinelands .
NO DATA CENTERS - already a significant loss of wildlife in the area from over building residential areas in nearby areas.
Preserve the Pinelands. .
Manchester cannot support a data center. Water is already insufficient four our population.
A data center will drain from the natural resources of the town and it's people. We do not need a data center in Manchester.
I do not want this built so close to where I live.
We don’t want data centers
Previous resident with family im concerned for
Raised in Pine Lake Park 1995-2011
Save our local environment. These centers bring too much noise. As proven in other locations in the US, they make too much noise and should be built far from residential areas. I’m not even sure they should be in commercial areas unless the noise can be adjusted.
I don’t want a data center next to my community plus it’s bad for the environment.
A data center will be harmful to our environment and too close to our Renassaince Community.
The Pine Barrens require protection, and the people of Manchester deserve better than this. The quality of life in Manchester and surrounding areas relies upon the cleanliness of the Cohansey Aquifer and the recovery of the natural resources, which have already been scarred by mining and industry.
Over Development & too much use of resources
Do not want large data centers near my beautiful community
Don’t want Data center. We are already having issues about enough water.
We do not want a datacenter in our backyard for all of the reasons called out in the petition.
Don't sell out The Pines
I am concerned about the many serious problems that bringing data centers to our community will pose
I live nearby, am affected by this watershed, and greatly care about this region. I care about my friends and family and many others I don't know who are in Manchester and will be directly impacted by a data center in their living space, as well as the floral and fauna. Our pine barrens is a treasure and a data center will not only affect its property space, but the spaces that surround it. We DON'T need this.
I am against the currently proposed and any future data centers installation in Manchester NJ.
Because our legislators should be representing people not corporate donars.
enough already with manchester. do not take anymore of our land for ANYTHING
Against data centers in Manchester
I don't want my Ocean County to be destroyed by AI Data Centers. New Jersey is SACRED. Let's keep it that way.
No Data Centers in my town.
No data centers in Manchester.
I am opposed to the negative impact data centers have on communities.
We don’t need any more building besides it’s dangerous for your health!!!!
Protect the Pinelands and conserve our water.
This is basically my backyard where they are planning this.
Data centers are horrible
AI development is a bubble that *will* burst, and building data centers to support it is incredibly stupid given the state of the climate, economy, and general population's desires.
I think this is a very bad idea for the PINE BARRENS. and elsewhere. Our towns don't want it dont need it and definitely can't be losing water or land to these horrible data centers. They use too much resources that our STATE needs. Water is getting scarce in the Pine Warren's. They need what ever they can keep to keep our families with water and reduced electricity problems. PLEASE SAY NO TO THESE CENTERS. They're bad for NJ.
No data Centers in Manchester - sign Petition
This places a large and dangerous burden on our community
Even though I don’t live in Manchester I work by the site and there’s too much going on in the area.
No Data enter in Manchester.
No Data Cemters! Our environment is more important than!
Not in favor of a data center in Manchester. Manchester can barely supply water to our existing users.
Defined as Pine Lands in an area that is already drastically changing, a data center has no place in our town.
No data centers in Manchester
I do not want a data center so close to residential houses also I want these data centers to have there own power grid. Plus the manchester township had a water issue already this will compound the problem even more
Save our town!!!
I don’t feel it should be here!!!!!!
We do not need to destroy this earth more than we already have.
Opposed to adding a data center so close to many senior living facilities
Do not want this!
I do not want a data center in Manchester NJ. The township has already been subjected to water restrictions this summer even with all the rain we’ve had. Data centers use a tremendous amount of water and energy and we must protect the people and wildlife in our county.
No data center near our beautiful senior community!
Do not want data center anywhere near residential area
Do not allow the building of a Data Center anywhere in Manchester, N. J.
There are so many other areas with more land and less people that would be more suitable for this.
Fixed Income. This is only a way to force control on people.
Oppose data center in Manchester
No data center
These data centers are going to burn the earth and eat at our water supply! They're ruining our planet and our youth!
Our energy prices are high enough without having to subsidize the data centers we will not use.
do not ruin our community with your ai trash
This will be built in our backyard. This will be a drain on our whole town utilities. Especially our water and electricity
No one wants this! This area is already overpopulated! We don’t need more headaches

I don’t want data centers near me
Concerned for my property value and all the requirements for utilities as well as noise. NO NO NO to a data center in my back yard,
I am unalterably opposed to any data centers located near my home.
It is unreasonable to expect people to live with constant noise pollution. Water restrictions already in Manchester. Where will the water and electricity come from. The Electrical grid is already under stress
NO DATA CENTER IN MANCHESTER NJ
Completely against commercial/industrial data centers directly adjacent to residential neighborhoods and its impact on wildlife in the area, and water and electricity demands that will strain an already taxed system.
Do not want
As a nearby resident in a community with electric baseboard heat in the homes in my development where we are paying $600 to $800 a month for electricity in the winter and still cold in our homes plus the fact that the water table is low and new water pumps are needed to reach deeper in the ground to be able to pump water...adding electric and water hogging data centers only a couple miles away will leave my community unable to heat homes or access ground water.
Ban all data centers
oppose Data Center
Save the Pine Barrens from unneeded development
I don't want a data center any where near my home. Property values will collapse. Utility costs will skyrocketed. Noise will be 24/7 Traffic will increase. (Our roads are terribly unsafe. We can't handle any more traffic)
I don't want date centers in our state and definitely not in our town. They use up a lot of energy and water, this demand would further increase our already astronomical utility costs. It would also create a horrible noise 24/7 and increase traffic to the area. Actually, until ocean cty can make the roads safe, we should have a moratorium on all new building.
I’m against data centers.
I enjoy being able to live quietly, with the clean water I pay for. In addition to that I have exactly zero interest in paying for another buildings electricity, especially when it's going to wound the environment I live in.
NO to Data Centers!
This will destroy wildlife and our safe and peaceful environment by polluting our water and straining our limited resources. It will profit NO ONE in Manchester and cause irreparable harm!! Please don't allow this to happen.
Don’t want data center in my back yard
Data Centers use too much local water and electricity.
Data Centers are dangerous and electricity and water usage is WAY TOO HIGH!
Do not want a data center next to where I live
It is not proven that data centers are beneficial. Also, Manchester Township is constantly under water restrictions every year as of right now also, we are under restrictions. We cannot provide anybody else with water!
Opposed to the building of a data center in Manchester, NJ
Significant high energy consumption of electricity and water will provide a strain on local resources
I don’t feel that the expenses should be on the tax payers. The companies should be paying the expenses. We should not be affected at all.
Don’t need a data center so close to a senior community!
I live in the Renaissance in Manchester and I’m very very concerned about the potential noise, water, and utility issues going forward. This will adversely affect my communities’s way of life and my property value..
I’m against this proposal due to value and quality of life will change for the worse
I live directly next to the proposed data center site. It will have a terrible affect on the local wildlife who are already dealing with much of their habitat being destroyed to overdevelopment
Do not want data center.
No data centers in our residential community.
Do not want a data center in Manchester
No Data Center at my back door
Not in my backyard!
Stop data center in Manchester and rounding towns
Data centers significantly impact communities primarily through increased energy consumption and water usage, which can lead to higher utility bills and strain local resources. Additionally, they can affect air quality and land use, raising concerns among residents about environmental and health issues. theinvadingsea.com wri.org
Live nearby and don’t want it!
to protect the delicate balance of the New Jersey Pinelands and its inhabitants...both people and animals.
It will increase our utility bills and create more EMFs in the area
These will make the quality of life in Manchester even worse. NO DATA CENTERS!
This is not something that will benefit our community, a burden on water , energy , the environment , wildlife and residents.
We don’t need data centers at all and you don’t need to put them in children’s parks bottom line we don’t need them it’s just going to make everything worse and it’s bad for the ecosystem
Don't want data center
Don't want data center

I am concerned about having a data center practically in my backyard. Quality of life, noise and environmental impacts and rising energy costs concern me greatly. NO DATA CENTER
Oppose the plans for data center in Manchester.
They will drain our power and water
Our country already has over five times more than any other country. We don't need any more data centers especially in Little New Jersey‼️ They are destroying our environment and are nothing short of a surveillance tool. STOP THE DATA CENTERS ‼️‼️‼️
We don’t need them and don’t want them.
Against the data center in Manchester
Repeal the redevelopment plan for Block 62, Lots 30 and 31.01 to remove data center as a permitted use. I live in the Renaissance and my property value would be adversely affected by noise pollution and deleted water resources.
We don’t want or need a data we need our water
I live here
Land, water and animal preservation!
NO DATA CENTERS IN MANCHESTER TOWNSHIP NJ!!!!!
Stop ALL building in Manchester Township and surrounding cities.
I am very much against the construction of any dada centers in New Jersey, especially in the Pine Lands.
Data center to close to us. Needs to be away from towns and cities
Protect Manchester and the surrounding areas from the construction of data centers. Residents, wildlife, and the environment would be harmed if the two proposed zoned lots were to be developed into data centers.
Do not want Data Center. Please BAN it!
1. repeal the redevelopment plan for Block 62, Lots 30 and 31.01 to remove “data center” as a permitted use, and; 2. adopt an ordinance, as ~40+ other NJ municipalities have already done, to ban data centers from the entire municipality.
Opposition to opening these data center in manchester nj
Protect my hometown and the future for all. AI is not necessary for life, clean water, safe drinking water, and the environment are.
Concerned citizen
No data center
No place for this in a residential area that is contiguous to Vinelands—danger to environment and quality of life—overuse of natural resources and electricity, and excessive noise.
There is no justification for having a data center of any size right next to such a large community. Renaissance and Holly Oaks would both be heavily affected by the noise pollution
Data centers cause pollution, they exhaust resources, and they're an eyesore. We do not need data centers in New Jersey, not do we want them. The only people who want them are those who stand to profit from them. Do not allow data centers in Manchester Township, anywhere else in Ocean County, or in New Jersey. We have enough pollution in the state already.
Resident of Renaissance
I do NOT want a data center built in the Pinelands!
The pinelands are a vital resource. Our aquafers, wildlife, flora, and residents deserve not to be disrupted and/or destroyed by these environmentally harmful data centers. The noise pollution is going to cause residents and wildlife immense distress, the water use and heat kickoff will significantly damage the surrounding area and use up increasingly scarce resources, etc. The Pinelands are too important for life on this planet, not an exaggeration, to give them up for the possibility of a profit from a contentious and currently unprofitable industry.
We already have enough noise from the bases in this area. We don’t need this in our neighborhood.
I do not want this near my home. To many unknowns. It’s way to close to me
Protect our pines! No data centers please
The center will ruin our peace, our water and use up way to much energy. Leave our Pines alone.
No ai
No data center in Manchester. Already have too much building and unwanted buildings. Dont need anymore eyesores
I do not wish for data centers in Manchester !!! I want good electricity and water !!!

We need to preserve land! Data We do not want the constant noise and loss of wildlife!!
The surrounding environmental infrastructure simply cannot support it.
Do not want a data center
We have enough problems. We already have water shortages, shoddy expensive electricity service.
Stop construction of the data center in my back yard.
To save our community
We have enough issues here in our small town with water, electricity & internet (wifi). I have lived in Ocean County most of my life and the developing is taking up too much of our Green space.
Depletion of water resources, noise, and electricity use in an area of concentrated population.
No Data Centers in Manchester N.J
I live to close for comfort
don't need any more traffic in Manchester
There’s no water for this!!
No data center in Manchester, NJ
AI data centers do not belong in our communities
No data center No data center in manchester nj
I would like to see the integrity of the Pine Barrens protected. We already have enough noise from the joint bases in the area. We need to protect the Cohansey aquifer from being compromised by data centers.
I object to the zoning of these properties for use as a data center. These projects use enormous amounts of energy and water. This state and area are often at drought risk and can not sustain the resources needed for these giant projects. In addition, data centers create tremendous amount of pollution and noise leading to detrimental effects for residents. The Pinelands suffer wildfires every summer and the water is needed to fight fires and for resident’s use. Keep the data centers out of this area.
No data centers in manchester
Manchester already experiences frequent blackouts, and residents have been grappling with rising electricity prices driven by data center demand.
Stop data centers being built in Manchester and surrounding towns.
To stop data center in my area.
JCP&L can't even keep up now - they're currently under investigation by the NJBPU regarding their lack of reliability and storm response. They failed to meet minimum reliability standards, how will they power a data center...or will they ONLY power the data center and the rest of us will be in the dark..
I don’t want our community impacted by a data center.
No Data center in Manchester
So many reasons. We need to protect the remaining Pinelands and Barnegat Bay Water Shed from unnecessary development that will negatively impact our water supply and energy consumption…not to mention the obnoxious noise pollution generated by these data centers.
Data Centers have no place in any community, let alone a protected natural resource like the NJ Pinelands. These centers are dangerous and will deplete our electricity and ruin our water supply. It has already happened in Cheyenne, Wyoming with a rare bacteria discovered the the wastewater system reported by Breitbart. Not only that, these centers are noise pollution & may eventually cause cancer. Main Street media and the I’ll informed local townships across the country and not being transparent about their agreements with these big corporations & the promise of lucrative contracts. They don’t give a hoot about the health and welfare of the community residents. Wake up and realize these centers are NOT in the best interest of our health or environment.
AI centers are detrimental to our wildlife and our future on this planet.
No data centers in Manchester NJ
data centers pose an environmental threat to the new jersey wetlands
No data center
No to any data centers in Manchester TWP NJ Concerned with power and water usage. TWP already on water restrictions.
No data centers!
I was raised in Manchester and it has already changed for the worse. The community does not need another change that can possibly hurt the people living there and the wildlife that inhabits the pine lands.
I am against putting this data center near a residential community who already deals with being near Lakehurst naval and the noise issue. Retired people came here for relaxation not noise and high utility bills
Serious concerns about the water and power needed to support it, as well as the noise created.
Concerns because of the water usage. I already experience low water pressure throughout the day.,
Data centers are horrible for people and the environment.
The Pinelands need to be protected and preserved, as well as other areas. The Pinelands is a unique ecosystem with unique species that must not be disturbed.
Don’t trust them not to cause havoc with the environment and electric bills!
Against the Dada center here in Ocean County
Do not want the data centers in manchester there bad for the environment n will pollute the Vineland
Data centers are harmful to the environment. They are a hazard to local communities
WE DO NOT NEED AI TO SURVIVE ITS QUITE LITERALLY KILLING US!!!!!
I want the preservation of our ecosystem and am against the pollution and increase in energy/resources data centers demand.
too close to residential areas
Totally against Data Centers because of their high water and energy needs, resulting in increased costs to residents.
No Data Centers in Manchester!!! Let's preserve our limited water and energy resources!
I don’t want this in my town, I want to preserve the pinelands!
Noise pollution and unprecedented water and energy demand. Also, it will decrease the value of homes.
I am opposed to a local data center that will consume so much of our water a
I do not want any AI center near me because of all the negative effects it may cause to my family, my neighbors, wildlife, our infrastructure and will diminish our way of life in Manchester Township, NJ. Our township is already being overwhelmed with too much building.
Do not want data center in Manchester nj
This site is proposed out the back gate of my development. This center will suck the power grid and raise the energy costs.
Data Centers drain precious resources from communities for corporate profit.
Do not want data center near me
Do not want data centers in Manchester township.
The data center will be displacing wild animals, is a dangerous facility of electrical emissions, will be an eye-sore, and will be removing yet more of our "Garden State" actual garden beauty.
Don't want this noise in my area. And draining other resources.
Data centers are widely unpopular among the people for their impact on the environment and their concern about the growing surveillance state. We do not want this!
No Data Centers in Manchester / Pinelands. Period! Enough with Big Business, Big Corporations sucking the economic life out of communities, Manchester does not need yet another group disrupting and diminishing it’s quality of life.
The Pinelands must be protected for future generations.
No Data Centers in Manchester
Data Centers destroy the local community and it's resources. The Pine Lands are a cherished part of our state and deserve to be perserved for generations to come.
We already have too many environmental problems effecting our lives—we don’t need more.
Water, air and noise pollution. Our precious aquifer, which supplies water to all who live in southern NJ, will be depleted by this monstrosity!
Data center diminishes residents and animals quality of life.
NO data centers in Manchester or any New Jersey location.
NO DATA CENTERS
Data centers are terrible for the environment
Do not want a Data enter to disrupt our environment!
This area of NJ has already pushed the limits of housing and business development, destruction of prime habitat, and water consumption. Further encroachment and destruction can no longer be allowed. The Pinelands must be fully protected and preserved to maintain the ecosystem and watershed.
I appreciate the natural resources of our community, and do not want to see them destroyed. It is lovely to see wild life right outside one's own front door. Please DO NOT build data centers that will impact the quality of life for both humans and wildlife.
We are a town of families, retired military and a host of other contributing, loving and caring residents who support each other. Our health is how we do it. We do not need this.
Data Centers are a heavy burden on small communities, and don’t provide any real permanent job opportunities in said small communities.
No data centers in Manchester!
Preserve our resources, and the threat of even more utility disturbances.
Affect our water and energy needs.
Don't want data centers

Protect the pinelands and stop the over crowding
The data centers are bad for people’s electricity and water bills. They also are noisy and do not bring jobs. There is a good reason why they are being banned all across the nation.
No data centers!!!
Grew up in whiting and my family lives there this is the antithesis of what the pine lands signify and it’s a deplorable get rich, die quicker scheme.
No data centers. Will put a burden to our electrical and wildlife.
Quality of life is not being considered at all. The noise and light pollution, the danger to our bodies and nature. Protect the land and people
We have lived in Manchester since 1989 and do not wish to see the destruction to our land and its wildlife. Please protect our beautiful township.
no data centers in my town
I don’t want the environmental impact of a data center in my town
Data centers on those lots would destroy the lives of those living at the Renaissance, as well as surrounding communities. These communities house seniors, many of which already suffer from medical conditions and would suffer from the noise, water compromise, pollution from generators and other stresses. This is way too close and completely UNacceptable. There should be ZERO data centers in Manchester, NJ.
A data center is not necessary, as AI is not necessary. AI energy consumption is too great. And I understand the data center will have high water consumption. The Township already has high consumption and there is still residential building in progress. So no, no data center.
No Data center in Manchester
The data center will deplete our water supply, use a tremendous amount of electricity which will increase my electric bill. Very devastating effect for our environment and destroy our wildlife!
I am totally against a data center being built in my community. It will deplete the water supply, increase noise pollution, very bad for the environment, devastating for our beautiful wildlife and raising our electric bills! Build somewhere else and not Manchester Township!
If a data center is built here we will put our house up for sale immediately
Protect the pine lands and all the planet from the terrible corruption that is destroying it.
Noise pollution, increased water & power rates, Pinelands should not be destroyed!
I live nearby and don’t want this near my home .

Data centers are bad for the environment, harmful for the residents, and we do not endorse a police state violating our 4th amendment rights.
Don’t want Data Centers in Manchester
Data centers are about to extinguish our aquifer. We can not live without water.
Against this especially since we have water restrictions in this area of town!
Negative impact
I'm a senior citizen, early 70's age group and I don't want these Data Centers in Whiting/Manchester... Aside from preserving the land in the Pine Barrens, not only wildlife will be affected but there is no information on how we are going to get our drinking water...Is the water going to be safe enough to drink, will people have enough water to go around and are our water bills going to skyrocket....I came here from New York with the hopes of living out my retirement in a safe place....With all the tearing down of buildings, all the empty stores in Whiting, NJ I feel like I'm back to living the ghetto of New York.... Please don't let NJ become the Slum Capital of the world..
No data center in Manchester totally against it as it will put a drain on our resources
We don’t want a data center ruining our environment Manchester Already has water and electricity issues
I am against having any data centers in Manchester.
Totally against Data center
Not in favor of this! So bad for the environment.
I don’t want a data center sucking up all our clean water resources
I do not want a Data center in my municipal area.
Quality of life & water usage
These data centers are ruining our quality of life. Affecting wildlife, water resources, and air quality by cutting down trees and natural vegetation. Furthermore h they are an unnecessary blight on the environment. I strongly urge the township’s Mayor and officials to think clearly and not with their pockets and refuse to allow this in our township New York has led the way in not allowing these massive centers. Let New Jersey stand up and follow.
We need to protect what makes this town special. There is absolutely no need for this!
Our children deserve more than a wasted Earth as an inheritance. The technology is here, we now need the ethics to wield it appropriately.
I do not want a Data Center in our community. The Data Center will increase pollution. , increase electric use and water use . Stop it.
Protect our pinelands in manchester, n.j.
This does not belong in the pinelands. It will have a negative effect on the ecosystem and wildlife as well as putting too much pressure on our water supply
Protect our water and wildlife!
I live here. I don’t want an ai data center here or the pinelands to be disrupted.
Protecting the pines means leaving data centers far away from pinelands!

Against data centers and pollution,water waste and energy grabbing
A data center in Manchester will completely deplete our township’s resources.
Petition to stop data center construction in Manchester, NJ
I live in whiting and don’t want this drain on our resources.
Deep Love of wildlife and all life. Blackouts and water restrictions here are more frequent than anywhere I have ever lived (many places up and down the east coast). Electricity bills are phenomenal (where is their conscience).
Preserving nature is important
No data centers. No water to support. Currently on water restrictions in places with public water, restrictions of township is on well water. This will decimate the township. Look 5 miles up the road to the new townhouse already built, they cannot get occupancy due to no WATER to support!
The industry is expanding too rapidly with little to no constraints.
I oppose the construction of any new large data centers in Manchester Township, NJ' where I live.
The environmental impact for our area would be horrific.
We don't need data centers.
More trees not less
These Data Centers are horrific for our environment and for the people who live nearby. It's our duty to protect our beloved Pinelands area as we have very few natural environments left in this state. If we lose these precious lands, we will no longer have any right to call ourselves the "Garden State".
Protecting the Pine Barrens.
The Pinelands and Pine Barrens need protection. We don't know the long-term environmental dangers data centers pose and the Pines should not be impacted no matter what.
The Pine Barrens are protected due to rare animal and plant life. We sit on over 17 trillion gallons of fresh clean water. NJ is over crowded to begin with, we are regularly suffering from drought conditions. There are 17 trillion reasons to ban these data centers. NO, NO, NO, NO!!!
Stop! Our resources are precious. Please use them for the residents of Manchester. Billionaires keep getting richer. The rest of us struggle. No Data Centers!!!
NO DATA CENTER!!!!
We do not need or want data centers in Manchester Township. We don’t want to lose all our water. We don’t want noise pollution and we don’t want declining values in neighborhoods.
Send data centers to space, our resources are already strained.
Concerned for my community
Ban data centers
Protect the Pinelands - no data center
Data centers have not been proven to be a benefit to the general public.
These data centers take up a huge amount of space and electricity supply. Raises rates and negatively impacts the environment.
Data centers will pollute the vital pinelands and the aquafer it sits on!! Not to mention increase our electric and water bills. The people of New Jersey cannot afford this on either account!
