Vantage Refused Approval For Data Center Project Outside Frankfurt.

US data center firm Vantage has been denied the chance to develop a new campus outside Frankfurt, Germany. The Groß-Gerau city council this month voted against entering into contract negotiations with the company Vantage Data Centers regarding the establishment of a data center.

SPD parliamentary group leader, Susanne Theisen-Canibol, said: "The business model is one in which others would generate very high added value, but the tax revenue would not remain in Groß-Gerau. We will not sell our city of Groß-Gerau to a multi-billion-dollar investor.”

The local Green party had already made its opposition to the project and its plans to reject the proposals public, saying the “disadvantages of a data center at this location clearly outweigh the advantages.”
