Amazon's $2 Billion Data Center Sparks Frustration in Gilroy

Amazon has built a massive $2 billion data center in Gilroy, California, but many residents claim they only found out about it by accident.

The project spans 56 acres and includes two data center buildings and a security building, with plans for up to 98 megawatts of electricity.

While the paperwork was technically public, community members expressed frustration that they were not adequately informed about the project's scale and impact on their city.

The facility is expected to generate around $40 million in new revenue for Gilroy over the next decade, but residents are concerned about the environmental and social implications of hosting a massive data center.
