We oppose this project for the following reasons:
The ground beneath this site is failing. The Arizona Department of Water Resources documents that land near Eloy has already sunk up to 19 feet since the 1950s due to aggressive groundwater pumping. The Arizona Geological Survey identifies this corridor as the most heavily fissured area in the entire state. Building a hyperscale industrial campus on this land is not just irresponsible — it is dangerous.
The water supply does not exist. This project would place an enormous and permanent demand on an aquifer that state agencies have confirmed is already over-pumped and permanently losing storage capacity. The damage caused by further depletion cannot be undone.
The cumulative impact is unacceptable. A second gas-fired power plant — the Kindle Energy facility — has already been recommended for approval approximately one mile from La Osa. Together, these two projects represent an industrial transformation of our desert landscape that no single approval process has ever fully assessed.
Our community will bear costs it never agreed to. Industrial-scale noise, heat increases of up to 16 degrees Fahrenheit in the surrounding area, air emissions from gas-fired generation, and the permanent industrialization of open desert land are costs that fall entirely on the people who live here — not on the distant corporations this project is built to serve.
We call on the Pinal County Board of Supervisors to deny the rezoning application for the La Osa Energy Center, and to require comprehensive, independent studies of water, geology, air quality, noise, heat, and cumulative environmental impact before any industrial rezoning of this land is considered.
Pinal County belongs to the people who live here. We deserve a voice in what it becomes.

I am a Pinal County resident. Have been for decades. I strongly oppose this or any other data center of any size constructed in Pinal County. This will not bring substantial long-term jobs and will take the remaining water we have. Absolutely not.
No data centers in Arizona period. Our water supply should be used for farmland, not cooling data centers. There should also be a geological survey done because the fissures are growing and will probably be unstable soon enough
I oppose this data center due to lack of water, land subsidence, noise and air pollution.
I oppose this construction until the long term impact has been fully identified and shared with the residents in Pinal County.
Please also consider the considerable impact of light pollution. Examples from other communities show horrendous light domes over existing data centers. In a county that prides itself on its dark skies, this would be catastrophic.
No data centers near our community!
This project raises serious concerns about groundwater depletion, land subsidence, earth fissures, air quality, noise, and the cumulative impacts of multiple large industrial facilities in the same area. Once these resources are damaged, there is no easy way to reverse it. Pinal County residents deserve independent, transparent studies and a full accounting of the long-term consequences before rezoning moves forward. Please put our community, our water, and our future first.

This project would be a disaster to water supplies. We live in the desert. My family learned to save every drop possible. I have been here for 70 years. We do not need a data center. We need to take care of the people who live here! Please pay attention.
