Air Quality Concerns in North Denver Neighborhood
A new data center campus is being constructed in Elyria-Swansea, a neighborhood already struggling with pollution from major highways and Colorado's only oil and gas refinery.
Pam Valenza, chief health officer at Tepeyac Community Health Center, initially thought the construction was for a planned affordable senior living facility.
Until last summer, Valenza assumed the excavators were at work on the final phase of the project: a long-planned affordable senior living facility.
However, she discovered through social media that the construction was actually for a data center, raising concerns about the potential impact on local air quality.
The neighborhood, which is working-class and largely Latino, is already affected by pollution from nearby highways and the oil and gas refinery.
