Putnam County Residents Clash with Proposed Google Data Center Plans

Residents in Putnam County, West Virginia, have been voicing their concerns about a proposed Google data center in Buffalo. The facility was announced in March when Google purchased land for the project.

Local residents are worried about the potential impact on the area's environment and quality of life. Melanie Lacy, who lives nearby, fears that the data center will disrupt the local wildlife and drive them away from their homes.

The Putnam County Commission is considering the proposal, with some commissioners acknowledging both economic benefits and community concerns. The commission received a resolution from Putnam United, a group of residents advocating for more information about the project's impact on the area.
