How to Oppose the Price Road Data Center Effectively

Sample Email (copy, personalize, and send)
Subject: Please oppose the Price & Dobson data center
Dear Mayor and Members of the Chandler City Council,
My name is [YOUR NAME], and I live at [YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD / NEAREST INTERSECTION] in Chandler. I am writing to ask you to oppose the proposed AI data center at Price & Dobson, less than 1,000 feet from existing homes.
This project would fundamentally change our neighborhood. I am concerned about issues such as 24/7 industrial noise, heavy truck traffic, water and power demands, air quality, and the risk of large battery systems so close to families. This site is surrounded by homes, schools, and parks — it is not an appropriate location for a data-center complex.
Please protect existing Chandler neighborhoods and keep industrial-scale data farms away from residential areas. I urge you to vote NO on any zoning or approvals that would allow the Price Road data center to move forward at this location, and to direct staff to look for more suitable sites farther from homes.
Thank you for your service to our city and for listening to residents like me.
Sincerely,
[YOUR NAME]

Subject: Please Vote NO on the Price Road Data Center
Dear Mayor and Councilmembers,
I am writing to urge you to deny the zoning request for the proposed Price Road Data Center near Ocotillo. A 90-foot industrial facility located less than 1,000 feet from homes is incompatible with our neighborhood, harmful to property values, and inconsistent with Chandler’s established planning standards.
Please protect our community, uphold responsible development practices, and vote NO on this project.
Thank you for your service and for listening to resident concerns.
