No to generators!
 

Please rethink this. Towns are allowing data centers closer and closer to homes with little child and elderly. The towns only care about the income they bring. In my town we are being sandwiched between 2 data centers and its ok per them because its different towns so they can't help what the other days. These generators will affect not only us but the wildlife we have around here. Please keep VA green has never been more important than it is right now. Years down the road data centers will be the cause of medical issues or wildlife issues or they will be completely outdated. Please be on the right side of this. Don't you want to be the ones that said so glad we stood up for our State!
