AI Data Center Disturbs Vineland Residents
4.9
Nebius's Vineland AI data center, built by Data One and tied to a reported $17 billion Microsoft compute deal, is under construction in Vineland, New Jersey, and residents say it emits a persistent low-frequency hum that disrupts sleep. The Cumberland County Department of Health is investigating sound measurements; the dispute highlights tensions over data-center growth in New Jersey, which hosts about 80 centers and may triple by 2030.
