LAS CRUCES 鈥� Do帽a Ana County commissioners authorized a new community monitoring committee focused on Project Jupiter on Tuesday, with opponents of the project expressing guarded support for the initiative while calling for its independence from county government and the developers.

The resolution creating the committee passed unanimously, with two commissioners 鈥� Susana Chaparro and Gloria Gameros 鈥� absent. The proposed committee was brought to the commissioners by local resident Lynn Moorer with the backing of skeptics as well as supporters of the massive data center under construction in Santa Teresa.

Known as Project Jupiter, the facility is being built on 1,400 acres of vacant land to house four data centers supporting AI training for Oracle and OpenAI, with power generation facilities and an office complex.

The resolution creating the committee acknowledges 鈥渓arge numbers of County residents who have questions related to the impact Project Jupiter will have on water, air, noise, pollution, and related environmental concerns and who wish to have a way they can get information related to the impacts from Project Jupiter.鈥� It also cites promises made in public meetings and in news media by the data center鈥檚 developers to engage with the community, providing a moderated venue for fulfilling that commitment.

Moorer said the body would function as an independent citizens鈥� study committee and hear from independent experts, with the companies involved in building the data center invited to participate.

鈥淐itizens will be able to research without restraint to discover countless important details about the project that will affect their lives and livelihoods in critical ways far into the future,鈥� she said.

Commissioners will appoint two members of the committee from each of the county鈥檚 five districts plus an 11th member chosen by the chairman from letters of interest submitted by an Aug. 31 deadline.

The members are to be appointed by Sept. 4, after which they will write their bylaws and elect officers. The resolution was amended, at the suggestion of Commissioner Susie Kimble, to direct the county manager鈥檚 office to hire an attorney to serve as an outside legal adviser for the committee.

Earlier in the commission meeting, a long line of county residents who have organized opposition to Project Jupiter denounced the management of public input at the commissioners鈥� July 28 meeting, which they said had been stacked in favor of employees who turned out to make supportive comments about the data center.

Several called on County Commission Chairman Manny Sanchez to resign in the aftermath of the previous meeting, during which three people were arrested and charged with disorderly conduct and a woman was knocked to the ground by a private security employee during a scuffle in front of the dais.

The security guard involved in that incident was not assigned to Tuesday鈥檚 meeting, but several employees of contractor Security Concepts as well as Do帽a Ana County sheriff鈥檚 deputies were positioned around the chambers.

Sanchez expressed concerns about some social media posts concerning the project, citing a comment from an anonymous account over the weekend that publicized Sanchez鈥檚 home address and was later deleted.

During these remarks, several individuals tried to shout him down, saying opponents did not support such conduct. 

By the time the monitoring committee came up on the agenda, there were fewer people in attendance and tempers had cooled. Several opponents, wearing matching T-shirts with the slogan, 鈥淲e can鈥檛 drink data,鈥� communicated support for the committee while cautioning against letting the committee simply become a promotional tool for advancing the project.  

One organizer, Jovany Hernandez, said, 鈥淲e are still wary of institutional capture.鈥�
