QUESTION OF THE DAY: Should local communities have concerns about data center projects?
Plenty of Montgomery County residents are worried about Amazon and other companies building large data centers on tracts of undeveloped land.
Critics say data centers strain local electrical and water systems, and they packed the Montgomery County Commission room Thursday to tell elected officials and economic development leaders about it.
But Steve Etcher with the Greater Montgomery County Economic Development Council countered that the Amazon project will bring millions in tax revenue and supply construction jobs.
Do you think some Montgomery County residents are right to have concerns? Let us know by voting in the poll.
