Residents in West Virginia are organizing opposition to a proposed data center development that would cover thousands of acres near the Monongahela National Forest, according to NPR. The project sits close to popular outdoor recreation areas, ski destinations, and sites known for dark skies, raising concerns among locals about the impact on the region's natural character.
Community members say the sprawling facility could disrupt the scenic wilderness and compromise darkness valued by stargazers and visitors alike, NPR reported.
