What happened

Some supportReported by 2 outlets

Central City leaders are developing a new ordinance to govern a proposed data center facility of approximately 18,500 square feet. This ordinance uses a structure recently adopted by the city of Palo as a model for its operations. The city council is currently working on the proposal, and the company interested in building the facility has not yet received a building plan or purchased the property.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The project is supported by the city's goal to attract business and generate tax revenue. Mayor Don Gray stated that the facility could generate about $19 million in tax revenue, with roughly half of that revenue going directly to Central City. Residents have raised questions regarding the potential impacts on the facility's use of electricity, water, noise, and future development.
