Attendees at a New Mexico Tech-hosted town hall in Socorro redirected the meeting into an organized opposition session against a proposed data center and adjacent solar array, Source New Mexico reports. Community members raised concerns about water consumption, land use, and the suitability of the semi-arid region for large-scale compute infrastructure. Organizers had planned the event to present project details, but speakers from the floor dominated the session with objections before officials could complete their presentations. Project sponsors have not announced a revised timeline or response to the community's demands.
