  • •Rep. Scott Peters advocates for housing and community amenities instead.
  • •The Navy plans to lease the land to developers for new office facilities.

Local lawmakers, including Rep. Scott Peters, have expressed opposition to a proposed 400MW data center at the NAVWAR campus in San Diego, previously used by the Navy for cybersecurity operations. The site, which spans 70 acres, is currently under consideration for redevelopment by Manchester Financial Group and Edgemoor Infrastructure & Real Estate. Peters argues that the location is better suited for housing and community amenities rather than a data center, which he believes does not serve the neighborhood. The Navy plans to lease the land to the developers in exchange for new office facilities, which limits local legislative influence over the project's design. The proposal has raised concerns about transparency and community impact, with local officials advocating for a mixed-use development instead. As of now, no final project has been approved, and the development plans are still being refined.
