Bay Area Data Center News, Proposals, Meetings, Protests
There is a lot happening in the San Francisco Bay Area with respect to data centers and things are moving rather quickly. Meetings are not always well-promoted, real estate deals are often under the radar and actual use of buildings are not always being revealed in a timely manner. Cities and agencies are scrambling to address concerts, block leases and stop construction before it is too late.
Below is a super rought guide to help sift through all the news and help people find out what’s going on in their neighborhood, connect with other concerned residents, attend city council meetings, contact representatives and take action against these corporations.
I will update this guide often (see last updated date above) based on interest and feedback from readers.
