Maryland activist blocks $5B AI data center at abandoned mall site
kevinnbass · x · 2026-11-12
An activist gathered 25,000+ signatures to block a $5 billion AI data center planned for an abandoned Maryland mall closed 24 years ago. She told Fox she'd prefer an indoor trampoline park, arguing data centers "only benefit those who can get a job there" — while her county faces a severe budget deficit. The episode highlights growing community pushback against AI infrastructure buildout.
