Council hears ongoing public opposition to proposed data center; no new action reported
Summary
Council members noted continued public opposition to a proposed data center on town land; staff reported no change in the town's position and said the parcel might become town property if the proposal does not proceed.
Council members discussed ongoing public opposition to a proposed data center. Staff said they had not observed new progress on the project and that there is public opposition. Council members noted that if the data-center proposal did not proceed, the land could be considered for town ownership or other uses, but no decisions or formal direction were reported at the meeting.
Why it matters: Large land-use proposals such as data centers can trigger public comment, require site-plan review and affect town land inventory and future planning.
Staff noted visible changes on the site adjacent to the furniture/used-car area, describing an increase in vehicle storage on one parcel previously used for sports fields; council members discussed whether the town would consider master planning the parcel if it came into town ownership, but emphasized that decisions would be subject to budget and topography constraints such as stormwater retention.
Ending: No formal actions were taken; staff will continue to monitor the proposal and any related public-comment activity.
