Scott Peters Opposes Data Center Plan at Navy Site in San Diego
What happened
Representative Scott Peters opposed the concept of building a data center at the Navy's NAVWAR campus in San Diego's Midway District. The Navy has been in talks with Manchester Financial Group and Edgemoor Infrastructure & Real Estate for over two years regarding the redevelopment of the 70-acre site. The development team was considering a 400-megawatt data center, but Peters argued the location is better suited for housing and neighborhood amenities.

Why it matters
The Navy plans to lease the land to the development team in exchange for a new office complex on a nearby site. Peters' opposition raises questions about the market viability of the proposed commercial project in San Diego.
