STACK Infrastructure’s data centre at 3650 Danforth Avenue in Scarborough is set to expand from eight megawatts to 56, the Toronto Star reports.
Why it mattersThe plans have turned a previously low-profile site into a local political issue, with residents raising concerns about environmental effects and demands on water and electricity infrastructure. It is a sharp reminder that AI capacity is built somewhere, and neighbours get a say in what that means for their corner of the map.
Discuss: Should local residents have the power to block AI data centre expansions over resource and environmental concerns, or should the decision rest mainly with elected officials and infrastructure planners?
