If Lowell is your home, this is your place

Also Congresswoman Trahan, the serious concerns and real-world consequences of your bipartisan bill are playing out right now in your own home district. In Lowell, the Markley Group data center is facing an active city-wide ban and a major environmental lawsuit from the concerned residents fighting corporate pollution and the skyrocketing utility bills. Your bipartisan bill’s $500 million loophole completely lets massive data centers like Markley off the hook. How? Because by exempting these "mid-tier tech operators from federal safety rules", you are protecting corporate profits while completely ignoring the facilities that pollute our neighborhoods and drain our power grids. While ALL of our Lowell City Councilors, most especially Councilor Kim Scott who represents the heavily impacted District 5, as well as Governor Healey, are and have been fighting very hard to protect Massachusetts's hardworking taxpayers and citizens, your federal bipartisan bill threatens to give “Big Tech” the ultimate legal loophole to steamroll local zoning laws and ignore environmental damage all in the name of “AI progress”. We need YOU to protect your own constituents, not "Big Tech" profits.
