Andrew and Stevi Groetsch started building a modern ranch-style home in 2021 across from a quiet stretch of farms in Vineland, New Jersey. The New Republic says their property later became adjacent to a data center project.
The report says Andrew noticed the change one night in September 2025 while reading their daughter a bedtime story. The article frames the project as a new presence next to the home and surrounding farmland.
Vineland is in southern New Jersey, where the Groetsches had expected a rural setting. The source presents the data center as the major development altering that setting.
The story appears in The New Republic, which published the report on September 13, 2026.
