Barber County forms committee to open talks with Google
Summary
The commission approved a four-person committee — including Commissioner Bryan Quick and County Counselor Hannah Molz — to open communications with Google about a potential data center, with no commitments to approve or incentivize the project.
County commissioners agreed to form a four-person outreach committee to open communications with Google about the possible data-center proposal. The committee membership named by the board includes Commissioner Bryan Quick (chairman), County Counselor Hannah Molz, Loretta McGuire from Economic Development, and a representative of the Sharon City Council; the committee is intended to gather information and facilitate dialogue, not to approve any project or incentives.
The committee formation followed the initial presentation to the board and public concerns raised by local businesses and residents. Commissioners said the next steps are informational outreach and staff coordination; no formal land-use approvals or financial incentives were discussed or authorized at the meeting.
