The discussions in local news (in nova) seem to center around: "but the noise!" i'm sure it'll work out in the end, but ... gonna be fun to watch.
There is apparently a problem in nearby West Virginia where someone built a cryptomining facility using free air cooling and it disturbs the neighbors. https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2022/03/18/bitcoin-mining-noise-pollution-appalachia/ Even traditional data centers have not been known to be especially considerate about scheduling their -loud- genset tests. Doesn't matter so much in the middle of an industrial zone but when you do it near where people live you're going to make them angry.
