#SanfordME #Datacenter is planned for New Dam Road. There is a wildlife refuge across the #MousamRiver and another large parcel of conserved land not far from the proposed site. If #NoisePollution affects humans, you can bet on it affecting #Wildlife!
So, hubby and I have been pouring over what is known about the #datacenter that's planned for #SanfordME . We figured out where it's going to go (New Dam Road along the #MousamRiver). And the mystery corporation is none other than #AWS - #AmazonWebServices!
