Massachusetts residents sue data centre over 27 diesel generators and 16 cooling towers near homes
Ten residents of Lowell, Massachusetts, sued the state environmental regulator and Markley Group over the expansion of Markley's 352,000-square-foot data centre in a dense neighbourhood to 27 diesel backup generators and 16 cooling towers. They cite diesel emissions, industrial noise, cooling-tower mist and dust, and say they were denied a proper chance to challenge the approval.
