DataOne’s Vineland Data Center
Coverage from The New Republic, WHYY, and others
DataOne’s large data-center campus in Vineland, New Jersey, is being developed for Nebius Group’s AI infrastructure, with Microsoft contracted for capacity.
Its construction and expansion have involved local planning approvals and debate over onsite power equipment, including fuel cells, gas generators, and proposed LNG storage. Nearby residents have raised concerns about nighttime humming, vibration, water use, air quality, and public engagement; noise complaints have also led to litigation. Disputes over permits and environmental compliance, alongside proposed sound mitigation and other project changes, are central to understanding the campus’s relationship with the surrounding community.
