POSITIVES:
Nottingham Data Center Withdrawn
Overwhelming opposition caused a proposal for a data center to be withdrawn from the Nottingham Planning Board meeting on May 27th.
Tom Moulton, a seacoast developer and current owner of the previously embattled USA Springs property in Nottingham, is proposing to build a data center on the site. The conceptual discussion was scheduled to go before the planning board, but just hours before the meeting, Moulton withdrew his proposal without prejudice. He’s likely to return at a later date.
Citizens from Nottingham, with support from surrounding towns that would be affected, plus people from all over NH, representatives from 50501, and NH state reps came together to protest the data center plan. We estimate at least 400 people gathered outside the Nottingham planning board meeting to express their opposition. In addition, as of the time of the meeting, more than 25,000 people had signed an online petition opposing the plan.
It’s very encouraging to see people of all ages and from across the political spectrum showing up for this important cause.
Local organizers will be coordinating and planning for future opposition. To receive updates, add your contact info to our email list. nottdems@gmail.com
Federal Judge Strikes Down NH’s Voter Registration Restriction Law
The US District Court found the state’s law requiring a birth certificate, passport or naturalization as the only proof of citizenship instead of an affidavit filed under oath, was unconstitutional after the plaintiffs showed evidence of hundreds of voters being turned away from the polls in the 2024 elections. The judge stated that the lack of evidence of fraudulent voting undercuts the state’s arguments for greater restrictions.
