Aurora Trident Advances Without Public Input

Aurora is reviewing Vantage Data Centers’ proposed Trident campus, a nearly 900,000-square-foot project with about 334 megawatts of IT capacity and an estimated 500 megawatts of electrical demand.

Because industrial zoning allows administrative approval, nearby residents say they have had no opportunity to comment; officials and residents have also raised concerns about pollution, water use, emissions, and electricity costs. The review and proposed city development standards leave unresolved how public engagement and project requirements will be handled.
