“The responsible ones do the latter, os we see with the CoreWeave project in Kenilworth, which is funding its own substation construction and procuring clean energy at o premium for the facility. The new capacity they build will serve the broader grid, not just their own facility. That's the standard that communities should be demanding.” On water usage: “During construction, the cooling system requires a one-time water fill After that, it runs on a closed-Icop design that circulates continuously, moving heat through the system yeor-round without drawing on the local water supply. “For context, that initial fill is roughly whet an 18-hote golf course uses in a few days, Once operational, day-to-day woter use at the facility amounts to what you'd expect from any office building of similar size for break rooms and bathrooms.” On omissions and noise: “The industry is moving toward carbon-free energy procurement, and software improvements hove driven dramatic efficiency gains. “As for noise levels, New Jersey law sets hard limits: 50 decibels at night, 65 during the day. For context, 50 decibels is a quiet room and 65 Is about the same as background music in a coffee shop. The facitity has to stay below that after 10 p.m. These are enforceable standards, not suggestions.” On community impact and jobs: “Before the first server goes online, o data center does something tangible for the community hosting It: it goes on the property tax rolls, That revenue flows directly to local school districts, which in New Jersey are perpetually underiunded and perennially dependent on Trenton to make up the difference. *For local employment, critics point to low permanent headcounts at individual facilities. That framing ignores contractors, on-site tenant workers, suppliers, and the broader economic activity that o large permanent facility anchors.” Cortigan and Siekerka also said that lerge, permanent infrastructure ottracts businesses that depend on reliable digital capacity. “suppiiers, contractors, and service providers tend to put down roots near the anchor facility,” they said. “Thot's not theoretical. It's how regional economies have always built around major infrestructure investments.” To read Siekerka and Corrigan’s full NJ.com op-ed, click
