Anti-Data Center Referendum Passes In Wisconsin Town By Huge Margin

Source: International Business Times

Residents of a small Wisconsin town overwhelmingly voted against the building of a massive $15 billion AI data center. The referendum is the first of its kind in the country and might provide a strategy for others worried about the impact data centers might have in their communities. The referendum in Wisconsin won't stop plans for the center that is set to be built on Port Washington's north side, but it is meant as a check for any future, similar project, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported.
