New Hampshire data center developer withdraws plans hours before opponents were to pack town meeting

• A data center proposal in New Hampshire was withdrawn amid backlash over environmental concerns.
• Residents of Nottingham cited noise and water pollution concerns.
• Developer Thomasom Moulton, who said he got death threats, plans to reassess the project.

Moulton said his goal was to think proactively about Nottingham’s future while balancing residents’ concerns.

“Someone’s going to do this regardless,” Moulton said of the growing demand for data infrastructure. “I’m just trying to plan and look at maybe this might be something for the future for the state and the community.”
