Plans for a data center in Nottingham, New Hampshire, were withdrawn by developer Thomas Moulton just hours before a town meeting scheduled to address community concerns. The proposal faced backlash from residents worried about environmental impacts, including noise and water pollution. A Change.org petition against the project garnered over 25,000 signatures, reflecting the community's strong opposition. Moulton stated that the project became mired in 'misconception and misinformation,' including exaggerated claims about its size. He emphasized the potential tax benefits for Nottingham, which has a limited commercial tax base, describing the project as a 'lottery ticket' for local revenue. However, community members like Ben Weit expressed fears that such industrial developments could permanently alter the character of their rural town. Moulton decided to withdraw the proposal to conduct further research and address residents' concerns, acknowledging the significant community opposition and threats he received.
