Residents in Shreveport are expressing strong opposition to a proposed data center, claiming city leaders are prioritizing the project without addressing community concerns. A petition highlights issues such as noise, air pollution, increased utility rates, and wastewater impacts, particularly affecting those in the Greenwood area.

The petition criticizes local officials for signing non-disclosure agreements and failing to engage with the public on the potential negative consequences of the data center. It calls for a more democratic negotiation process that prioritizes the needs of affected residents and opposes tax incentives granted for the project.
