Local authorities in New Brunswick, New Jersey, voted on Wednesday against allowing the construction of a data center on a plot of land slated for redevelopment, instead requiring that a park be built on the site.

The New Brunswick City Council was evaluating a proposal concerning the Jersey-Sandford redevelopment area, an approximately 22-acre site located on the southeastern side of Jersey Avenue between Sandford Street and Mitchell Avenue.

But fierce opposition to a proposal for a 27,000 sq ft (2,508 sqm) data center led the council to amend the original proposal, removing language that would have made data centers a permitted use.

A video about the data center’s rejection was posted by Climate Revolution NJ, an environmental organization that helped coordinate the public response to the proposal. It has racked up more than 300,000 likes since being posted on Thursday.

“This is what it looks like when communities fight back against big tech and their billionaire private equity backers,” reads the caption.

The city of New Brunswick is located southwest of New York City in the state of New Jersey. It is part of the New York tri-state area, which is a prominent data center hotspot.
