I want to thank the residents who have reached out with questions and concerns regarding the data center property at 80 Merritt Boulevard. This property has operated as a data center in Trumbull since the 1960s, and I understand the significant public interest surrounding any potential changes to its operations or future use.
I want the community to know that this matter is being taken seriously. I am actively meeting with the property owners, gathering information, and closely monitoring developments. My administration is committed to ensuring that residents are kept informed, that community concerns are heard, and that any potential impacts on Trumbull are carefully evaluated.
To provide the public with clear and accurate information, we are preparing a comprehensive document that will address many of the questions that have been raised. It will include information about the property's current operations, any proposed upgrades, the applicable review process, and what those changes could mean for our community. In addition, I intend to invite the data center’s new ownership team to present information about the project directly to residents.
Protecting the interests of the Trumbull community will remain my highest priority throughout this process. Residents deserve accurate information. For that reason, it would be premature to hold a public meeting before we have gathered the necessary information and can provide clear, accurate answers with input from the appropriate experts. Our goal is to ensure that when we convene the community, the discussion is productive, informative, and based on verified facts. As soon as that work is complete, we will announce a date for the public meeting.
I will continue to provide updates as information becomes available. I appreciate your patience and your continued interest as we work through this process together.
