Data center CEO: 'We can build an AI factory' in Bonner

Steve Wood, CEO of Krambu and Paradox Infrastructure, and other representatives held a public question-and-answer session on Friday, March 20, in Bonner, Montana, to address local residents' concerns regarding a proposed data center facility. During the meeting, which at times became heated, community members questioned the companies about the facility's anticipated consumption of energy and water. The proposed 3-megawatt operation is slated for the Bonner Industrial Mill Site. Also present at the meeting were County Planner Jennie Dixon, Bonner Mill Industrial Site Manager Mike Heisey, and Matt Afana, a project manager for Polar Construction, a Coeur d'Alene-based company collaborating with Krambu on the proposal.
