Mahomet ends data center talks after resident pushback
The Village of Mahomet said Monday it has ended discussions with Clean Cloud Energy over a possible data center in a nearby rural area, WAND reports. The village had disclosed Sept. 28 that it and the company had talked about a possible development agreement.
Mayor Jason Tompkins said residents’ feedback and overwhelming opposition contributed significantly to the decision. Hundreds of residents objected at a community meeting Saturday, and the village said the feedback showed data centers don’t align with its long-term priorities.
