Resident urges town-hall on data center, says community needs answers
Summary
Mike Cross, a Fairibault resident and prospective school-board candidate, urged the council to hold a town-hall (outside formal rules) so residents can get answers about a proposed data center, saying people feel the council is not providing information.
Mike Cross, who identified himself as a Fairibault resident and a prospective school-board candidate, used the public-comment period to press the council for clearer engagement on a proposed data center. "These guys here want answers on what's going on with the data center," he said, and urged the council to "get with these people on a town hall where there's no Robert's Rules of Order and talk to them and get them to feel comfortable."
Cross said residents had been engaged when officials campaigned but now felt shut out. "Now they want answers from you and they're not getting them. You're hiding behind stuff there," he told the council. The council did not provide an immediate response beyond the standard public-comment process; no formal action followed from the comment.
