California's Prop. 45 would fast-track construction, drawing criticism
Original: California’s Prop. 45 aims to speed construction projects. Opponents say data centers will benefit
California voters are weighing Proposition 45, a ballot measure designed to speed up approval and construction of building projects across the state. Supporters argue it would cut red tape and help address housing and infrastructure needs. Opponents counter that the main beneficiaries would be large data centers rather than ordinary residents, raising concerns that environmental review and local oversight could be weakened for big corporate developments.
Why now: The measure is on California's ballot, and debate over its data-center exemptions is drawing attention from both business and environmental groups.
