Hi Karin,
The topic at the meeting tonight is specifically about the water withdrawal permit renewal only. Harold is talking about the much larger impact of the entire data center. I hope there is large attendance, but also keep in mind that the topic on the table is quite specific.

The county legislature is meeting tonight and on the agenda is requesting the DEC to deny the data center permit until an environmental study is done. Please show at 5:30 tonight with concerns.

I am posting the following with permission of the Cayugabirds-L Listowner:
I would like to be in touch with people who have birded at the Cayuga Shores Wildlife Management Area, aka Bell Station, in Lansing, or other places nearby who are concerned about plans to build a data center on the property immediately to the south of Cayuga Shores. I am concerned that noise and light from the data center could adversely impact birds and other wildlife at Cayuga Shores and other places nearby. If you might be interested in joining me and others to oppose the data center, or at least minimize the harm it will do to wildlife and birding, please contact me off list by emailing me at <harold.mills...><mailto:<harold.mills...>. Thank you!
