Resident cautions against data center, says it could strain local power
Summary
At a Redevelopment Agency meeting, resident Alfredo Alcalde urged members to oppose a proposed data center, saying examples in Reno show how such facilities can stress power supplies; no staff response is recorded in the transcript.
During the meeting's second public comment period, Alfredo Alcalde identified himself as a long-time Boulder City resident and urged members to oppose a proposed data center. Alcalde said he feared the facility would "just ruin our city" and referenced power-supply issues in Reno, stating his concern that utilities were prioritizing data centers over other uses. "I not for the data center," Alcalde said.
The transcript records no response from agency staff or members to Alcalde's remarks. Alcalde's statements describe concerns about local electricity availability and a perceived precedent in Reno; the meeting record does not provide technical data, a developer proposal, or a utility statement to substantiate or refute those claims.
