• Harlem neighbors raise concerns over noise from Google data center construction (wrdw.com) — Neighbors near the Harlem exit say overnight construction noise from Google's massive Pumpkin Center data center project is making it hard to relax at home, even past normal work hours. A county spokesperson points to an ordinance allowing construction from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m., with exceptions possible, leaving residents worried this around-the-clock disruption may only be the beginning.
