Western Pocahontas needs to come forth with their reasons for allowing this to happen on their land, so close to towns, schools, and senior centers. They'll remain our neighbors for many years to come and better to get along. The DEP, local politicians, as well as other State agencies will likely not slow this project down. Perhaps the shell companies have a soul and conscience? Hopefully the investors that are backing these data centers love their community and called to action when things are going wrong. Looking for ideas on where to turn, besides feeling frustrated about how unfair this is. Our comments and disapproval are falling on deaf ears. Build these things where they're welcomed and it may be simply a few miles up the road.
Don't worry the environmentally conscious landowner has your back, “These are huge pieces of property, and we know it’s a lot to absorb,” said Roy Bechtol, president of a land planning firm hired by Western Pocahontas Properties. “But you’ve got to start somewhere.” Bechtol’s firm specializes in “environmentally conscious resort and master planned communities,” especially golfing communities, according to its website. The Data Center Golf Links will be beautiful, and the State of West Virginia Division of Environmental Protection will be there to protect everyone from all the traffic, air, light, noise and water pollution. Heck they will allow only one and a half tons of formaldehyde a year to be sprayed on Davis and Thomas and the elementary school. The State has such a great record of environmental protection. /sarc
