Debate in Cesate Over New Data Center Construction Prompts Environmental Concerns

DATA AND AI INFRASTRUCTURE

The construction of a new Data Center in Cesate has sparked a heated debate between the center-right majority and the center-left opposition, represented by Cesate Insieme. The project is subject to a Strategic Environmental Assessment (Vas) to evaluate its impact on air, water, traffic, and noise.

The opposition argues the project lacks critical data, citing the inclusion of 48 diesel generators for power outages, and raises concerns over noise pollution. They emphasize that the site is the last green area between the town and Parco delle Groane and call for adherence to regional guidelines recommending the use of abandoned areas for such projects. Cesate Insieme insists on the need for transparency and verifiable actions regarding the development.
