Officials in Hamilton, Canada, have denied a proposal by Slate Asset Management to integrate data centers into "Steelport," a planned 800-acre mixed-use industrial development on a former Stelco steelworks site.
The city’s committee of adjustment rejected a crucial land severance application for the project following a grueling eight-hour meeting packed with opposing local residents. Despite the site's access to 200MW of grid capacity and its positioning as a potential hub for Canada's sovereign AI infrastructure, the proposal faced unprecedented community pushback, drawing over 1,600 letters of protest from local citizens.
