Amazon has begun construction on a large AI data center in Gilroy, California, a project that has drawn criticism for allegedly circumventing public input. Residents were reportedly unaware of the project's approval due to outdated zoning rules from 45 years ago, which limited the window for public comment. While city officials acknowledge the community's concerns and the evolving awareness around data center impacts, they also point to the project's adherence to existing regulations and the economic benefits it brings, including tax revenue and job creation.
