MISHICOT, Wis. (WBAY) – Local residents in Mishicot gathered to voice opposition to a proposed artificial intelligence data center.
Organizers said the meeting was meant to inform and mobilize community members concerned about the project’s potential impact.
The event, held at the Gray Fox, featured remarks from local entertainer Charlie Berens, along with guests who shared how these data centers can affect communities.
“Power bills can go up, and it can change the culture of a community. And people, because technology is so new and moving so fast, people don’t know exactly what they’re getting themselves into, until, it’s too late,” Berens said.
Local leaders will take up the issue again at a town hall next Monday.
