Residents press county commissioners for clarity on proposed data center
Summary
Residents raised repeated concerns about zoning, taxation and unknown impacts of a proposed data center at Board of Commissioners meetings on March 9 and March 23, 2026. County staff said tax estimates are difficult because details remain unknown.
Public comment at two March meetings focused on questions and concerns about a proposed data center.
At the March 9 meeting Herbie Landwehr and Claudia Vollbracht asked questions about the data center; at the March 23 meeting Mason Eck, Jeff Woods and Gina Woods reiterated concerns. Dacya Doman told the board that estimating tax impacts is "very hard to do currently because we don't know everything," according to the meeting record.
Commissioners did not take a zoning vote on the project during these meetings. Jeff Woods addressed zoning and Anthony Farrar voiced community concerns during the March 9 session; the minutes show the board received the comments but recorded no formal action on land use or tax incentives.
The repeated public comments prompted staff to note uncertainty about revenue and tax modeling. No specific timeline or permit application was recorded in the minutes for a final county decision on zoning or tax treatment.
