Committee member says community will decide whether to allow a data center in Linn Valley
Summary
A committee member told residents the city will solicit public input before deciding whether to permit a data center in Linn Valley, noting a community contact named Corey is not in favor and that experts will be invited to a town hall for questions.
A committee member told attendees the city will involve residents before making any decision on allowing a data center in Linn Valley, and said a community member named Corey has expressed opposition. "This is not a council only decision," the committee member said, urging citizens to follow announcements about a forthcoming town hall.
The committee member said Corey reached out after seeing a LinkedIn post and offered assistance as the city and community explore the issue. The committee member added that the council plans to bring in subject-matter experts on data center siting, power and water to inform residents and council members. "He merely reached out to me due to a LinkedIn post I made asking questions of people in my network," the committee member said, describing how the contact occurred.
City officials encouraged residents to attend or watch the meeting online and to take part in the town hall, which the committee member said will provide an opportunity for direct questions to experts. The next procedural step announced was scheduling that town hall so citizens can offer input before the council takes any formal action.
