“Referring to the 1994 fight against Disney’s plan for a theme park near Haymarket, Schlossberg said “we are here to say to QTS (and Compass) data centers … go away. You think Disney had it hard? Just wait…””
And here we are, having exposed the polluted “facts” about the Digital Gateway project; the rot in our local leadership; the lie that this industry is 100 percent renewable; the lie that there is enough power; the lie of the greatly exaggerated windfall profits.
Ultimately, we have exposed the rot in this entire process.
We believe the hearing is scheduled on the perfect date, Halloween — because THIS community IS their worst nightmare.
