DataOne’s large data-center campus in Vineland, New Jersey, has been developed near homes and has drawn attention to how major facilities affect neighboring communities.

Residents have raised concerns about persistent humming and vibration, prompting complaints and noise-related litigation, while local hearings and questions about public engagement have shaped debate over the project. DataOne and its operating partner, Nebius Group, have described mitigation measures including construction changes, sound barriers, and quieter fuel-cell power. The campus is also a case study in the local decisions and practical trade-offs involved in building and operating data centers.
