State Representative Joey Andrews is organizing a public town hall in Benton Harbor, Michigan, to address the growing presence and potential impacts of data centers in Southwest Michigan. The event, scheduled for Thursday, March 26, from 6:30 to 8:30 PM, will include remarks from Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel.
