The room broke out into applause, as Ordinance 25-08, allowing data centers as a conditional use in manufacturing areas in Harrington, was denied by City Council on Monday, Aug. 17.
- Way to go, Harrington. Now, can Dover find the guts to do it? — Bobbi Costello
- Great news! Now, we need surrounding towns to do the same! — Leah Cap
- Good job, Harrington, for setting the example for the rest of the state. — Dean Jester
- Thanks to everyone who attended and the council members who voted it down. — Joseph Pritchett
- I think most people don’t really know what data centers are or do. — Tatiana Romanova
- Build them out in the desert. Build them in the northern wilderness of New England and the Northwest. Build them with their own nuclear reactors, so they don’t tax our energy infrastructure. — George Tice
- They still have to pass an ordinance to stop them. This failing just means that the locality doesn’t have a zoning law on the books to regulate them. — Dustyn Thompson
- It was a good meeting. The residents of Harrington showed up when it counted. It was great. — Clement Pascoe
- They are fighting growth and then complaining about the economy and lack of jobs in one of the poorest areas of the state. It makes no sense. I assume these folks are not impacted by the jobs it would create. — David Pulcinella
