The planning commission of Vilonia, Arkansas, unanimously turned down a proposal for a cryptocurrency mining facility within the city limits due to strong opposition from residents. Concerns raised by citizens included noise pollution, increased energy consumption, and environmental impact. Residents feared the mining operation would disrupt the town's peaceful environment and strain local infrastructure. Previous disinterest in hosting miners was also noted, with concerns about sustainability and minimal economic benefits. In response to these concerns, the city's planning commission denied permission for a crypto mine in 2023 and revoked the permit permanently. The rejection of crypto mining in Arkansas reflects a broader trend of increasing scrutiny and opposition to such operations in various US municipalities, as seen in the case of Granbury, Texas, where residents filed a lawsuit against a mining facility for generating excessive noise and causing health issues.👇👇
