Acorn Trail in Faribault is the planned site for a future Archer Data Center project.
A group of Faribault residents is starting a petition for a ballot measure to enact a moratorium on a proposed Archer Data Centers project and future data centers. This comes amidst concerns about the project planned for an 84-acre lot on Acorn Trail.
An 84-acre parcel of land along Acorn Trail in Faribault, Minnesota, has been identified as the future site for a data center project by Archer Data Centers. This development has sparked significant concern among local residents.
In response to the proposed project, a group of concerned community members is initiating a petition. Their goal is to introduce a new ballot measure for the upcoming election season. This measure would ask the city of Faribault to implement a moratorium on the Archer Data Centers project and any other prospective data center developments within the community. The moratorium would remain in effect until the city establishes a clear path forward for managing such projects.
