A school in the eastern UP is holding off on an expansion project to build two new classrooms and welcome 40 new students because of noise pollution from a nearby bitcoin mining farm. Residents are calling for the facility to shut up or shut down and move.

    I have no idea what “storage” zoning means, but how does zoning allow industrial uses right next to a school? This is clearing not similar to a self-storage facility, but more like a small manufacturer

      Storage zoning means they don’t have to go through noise assessments. It’s a legal loop-hole.
