Harini is the only person in this race that is speaking openly about the issues with the data center in the South Lowell and Back Central neighborhoods.
She will work to make the South Lowell Data Center project more accountable and transparent. She will make sure that the water and energy use of the data center is both documented and reported, so assessment can be accurately made of the use of resources that will impact the community.
Harini will work to make sure that the Markley data center does not evade the data center moratorium.
Harini's Positions
What I'll Do
- Strongly oppose the data center expansion in South Lowell, which is an environmental justice neighborhood
- Support putting guardrails on the data-center expansion — currently there is only a mandate to build without any accountability for how much water the centers will use, what their environmental impact will be, and what the costs to the neighborhoods will be
- Support reclaiming tax credits given to these data centers if they do not keep their promise of jobs, or should they behave in a disruptive manner that impacts the community around them
