Resident urges ban or moratorium on proposed Technoc data center near US 20/27
Summary
Jean Borglum, a Goshen resident, raised concerns about a proposed Technoc data center near US 20/27, citing wildlife impacts, pollinators, well and property concerns, and asked the county to consider a moratorium or ban.
Jean Borglum of Wallen Court addressed commissioners during the public-comment period and said she learned about a possible Technoc data center near US 20/27 from meetings in Bristol. Borglum raised concerns about effects on birds, bees and bats, described noise levels near her home and worried about who would pay to mitigate impacts such as redrilling wells or compensating for lost property value. She said she would "appreciate if we had a moratorium or a ban on them in this county, frankly."
Borglum described reviewing studies and cited examples she said show wildlife and pollinator impacts near large-scale facilities; she urged the commission to prioritize protections for neighbors and to require developers to assume mitigation costs. No immediate county action or staff direction was recorded in response on the public record.
