Summary
A new coalition, Douglas County Data Center Watchdogs, is rallying residents and former officials to stop data centers before they’re even proposed, leveraging state tax breaks and zoning loopholes to push back against unchecked development. With hyperscale facilities already permitted in Lawrence, the group is mobilizing through yard signs, email lists, and protests to protect the county’s future — and its water resources — from what they see as an unchecked boom.
