Warren D'Souza, a homeowner, expressed concerns about the Cloud HQ data center project during the citizens' to be heard portion of the meeting. He cited issues related to noise, electricity, water, and pollution, noting disputes and incidents involving similar data centers in other municipalities.

He also pointed to examples in Fayetteville, Georgia, and Quincy, Washington, regarding water usage and contamination from data centers.
