Union Residents Voice Concerns Over Kenilworth Data Center, Nuclear Power Rumors Debunked
During the public portion, Wanda Espanya raised concerns about the AI data center being built in Kenilworth, stating it will affect Union residents significantly due to its proximity (less than half a mile from the Five Points area). She questioned if Union officials were invited to a recent tour of a data center with Coreweave representatives, asking for details about the tour. She also inquired about the possibility of nuclear power being involved and what legal remedies Union Township has if project impacts extend beyond Kenilworth's borders. Senator Joe Cryan later clarified that there is no proposal for nuclear power at the Coreweave site. [cite: 541-653, 1060-1172]
