New Brunswick City Council Faces Opposition Over Proposed AI Data Center in Redevelopment Project
DATA AND AI INFRASTRUCTURE
The New Brunswick City Council is encountering resistance regarding the inclusion of a proposed AI data center in a redevelopment project. Opponents are concerned that the 27,000-square-foot facility will significantly raise local electric and water rates.
The site, located along Jersey Avenue, is set to integrate with a 600-unit residential complex and other amenities. Critics argue that the data center's energy and water consumption could lead to doubled utility costs for nearby residents.
