Lawmakers hear debate over data centers including revenue, headaches – Center Square

“For the benefits, it is true that data centers bring revenue. In Aurora, that will mean approximately $1.6 million annually in both property and utility taxes to the city each and every year,” Aurora Mayor John Laesch said. “Aurora residents living near data centers have described a constant low-frequency hum day and night. It's not loud in a traditional sense, but persistent. People have described trouble sleeping, increased stress, a loss of quiet in their own homes."
