Residents praise new archive space and warn about potential data‑center land deals
Summary
Public comments at the June 2 meeting praised county efforts to secure the Butte‑Anaconda Pacific administration office for archives and research, while another resident warned a potential data‑center development could be pushed through without community input.
During public comment, Rose Nyman thanked county leaders for assistance acquiring the Butte‑Anaconda Pacific administration office and said the building could serve as an archive and research center; she and CEO Bill Everett described local volunteers and staff who helped make the acquisition possible.
Resident Vern Tuss raised concerns about possible data-center developments and warned county leadership against land transfers done without community notice. "The land transfer will happen without a work session or community input," he said as a hypothetical worry, and urged caution about potential impacts to local neighborhoods and services. Commissioners noted the comments and referenced ongoing economic and planning discussions, but no formal action followed from the public comments.
