BEAVER DAM, Wis. — Last week, Facebook's parent company Meta confirmed plans that it's building an AI data center in Beaver Dam . This week, people are reaching out with their concerns.

Maily Kocinski lives near the construction site and is concerned about the potential impact on water in the area. She emailed TMJ4 News saying she has already noticed changes in the creek that runs through her yard and to Beaver Dam Lake.

For 47 years, Kocinski has lived on the creek. Now, the Meta data center is moving in just a few miles away.
