Residents say company did not buy local property after public opposition
Summary
Attendees told the council that reports a company had purchased a local property were incorrect: the property had not been purchased and the company was reportedly no longer interested after strong community response; some residents said clearing activity had taken place though no sale occurred.
An attendee at the meeting told the council that a company had not purchased a local property despite community reports and that, after the level of public opposition at recent meetings, the company appeared to lose interest.
The attendee said the property "has not been purchased" and that while some people had begun clearing the site, the company had not completed a sale and "they were no longer interested because of how the meeting went." Another participant said council members planned to travel to a city council meeting on July 9 to ensure officials there were aware of community concerns.
A council member added a clarification during discussion, saying she heard citizens and would represent their concerns. Another speaker said there was no Washington-based data center involved in the matter, countering a circulating claim.
The transcript records attendees' statements but does not include a company statement, a deed or sale record, or confirmation from property owners. The account in the meeting therefore reflects attendees' reports and not a verified transaction.
