CITY OF ALACHUA
---> EXTREMELY SERIOUS DANGER ⚠️ TO OUR QUALITY OF LIFE, PROPERTY VALUES, OUR HEALTH, AND MORE.
Proposal for an AI Data Center on 441 just .3 of a mile north of Turkey Creek subdivision -- the site is 105 acres.
PROBLEM:
AI data centers need enormous amounts of both water (cooling) and electricity (run all the servers), they are extremely loud 24/7, and there are health risks.
QUESTION: Do we want this proposed facility hurting our property values, weakening our power grid, sucking our aquifer dry, drowning out the sounds of nature, and emitting dangerous material into our air?
PUBLIC MEETING TOMORROW - Show our united strength by attending this meeting:
MEETING INFO: Joint meeting of City of Alachua and Alachua County at the City of Alachua City Hall tomorrow, Monday, May 18 at 6 p.m. Public comment is permitted. PLEASE ATTEND AND SHOW OUR COLLECTIVE STRENGTH.

Today is the national day of prayer. Here are thoughts from Franklin Graham.

My father Billy Graham once said, “Prayer is more than a wish; it is the voice of faith directed to God.” On this National Day of Prayer, let’s stop and seek God. Join me in praying that He would move in the hearts of our families, help us stand for His truth in our communities, give our leaders wisdom, protect this nation, and draw people back to Him. Tonight, my son Will Graham will be part of the National Day of Prayer broadcast at 8:00 p.m. ET—I hope you will take the time to watch and pray on NationalDayofPrayer.org.
