Council says no vote scheduled on data center; member will visit site, public hearing to follow
Summary
Citizens asked about rumors of a data center; council members said no council vote has been taken and that a council member will visit and videotape the site before the council schedules an official public hearing to record community views.
Residents attending the July 16 Pritchard City Council meeting asked whether a data center was coming to the city. Council leaders replied that no formal council vote or approval for a data center has been taken. One council member said they will visit the proposed site, record video and present findings to the public; the council said it intends to schedule a public hearing so citizens’ views will be officially recorded before any council action.
Why it matters: Data centers can bring local investment, but they also raise community concerns about land use, infrastructure and long‑term municipal commitments. Council members emphasized that any decision will be preceded by public notice and a hearing.
Attributions: Information based on council comments during the meeting.
