Opponents of a proposed data center in Mandan, North Dakota, are collecting signatures for a petition asking the city to pause decisions on the project. The petition specifically requests a moratorium of up to a year to allow for more comprehensive environmental studies to be conducted.
Organizers plan to present the petition at Monday's planning and zoning meeting. A primary concern for residents is the proposed location of the data center, which they argue is too close to new residences, a middle school, and a high school, leading to significant community opposition regarding its placement.
