Today's riddle: What has a tail, but no body? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• Gilroy to vote on pausing new data center development (nbcbayarea.com) — Gilroy residents should know the City Council is set to vote tonight on a temporary moratorium for new data center projects, giving the city time to tighten rules on large industrial developments. The pause would not affect Amazon's $2 billion data center already under construction, but it could shape how future high-impact facilities are evaluated for noise, power, and water use.
• More than 100 data centers dot Silicon Valley landscape, with more on the way (gilroydispatch.com) — Gilroy is named alongside San Jose as local leaders and state officials wrestle with how to regulate the rapid spread of energy-hungry data centers across Silicon Valley and California. The piece outlines how many centers already operate nearby, the environmental concerns they raise, and the broader national race to build AI infrastructure that could affect future projects in and around Gilroy.
• 'We've seen this before': Japanese American incarceration echoes through Trump's immigration crackdown (eastbaytimes.com) — Japanese American activists with deep Bay Area roots are drawing parallels between World War II incarceration and today's immigration crackdowns, including local opposition to a proposed ICE facility near Gilroy. Their organizing links South Bay efforts with national movements, emphasizing civil rights, ethnic studies education, and solidarity with immigrant communities who they believe face familiar patterns of discrimination and detention.
