## Resource

New Hampshire’s Republican lawmakers are pushing for a temporary halt on new AI data centers, citing concerns over strained utilities, noise pollution, and taxpayer costs. With Governor Kelly Ayotte backing the pause and public opposition surging — including a recent poll showing 67% of residents against local builds — lawmakers are weighing how to embrace tech without sacrificing community quality of life. Plans in Bow and East Concord face mounting resistance after similar proposals were scrapped amid strong local pushback, as the state prepares for its next legislative session to tackle this growing dilemma.
