Port Washington limits data center construction hours after public complaints

The 24-hour work cycles at the Vantage Data Centers campus in Port Washington are being limited, Wisconsin Public Radio reported.  

Residents complained of the nonstop noise and lights during construction of the $15 billion project.  

The Port Washington Plan Commission on Thursday unanimously passed an amendment to the building, site and operations plan for the development to limit construction hours.  

The amendment limits outdoor construction to between 6 a.m. and 8 p.m. Monday through Saturday. Lighting also has to be “reduced to security levels” after 8:30 p.m.
