Cheyenne City Council moves annexation process for data center forward

The Cheyenne City Council has voted to advance Microsoft's proposed data center campus, rejecting a four-month delay sought by some community members. The motion to move the annexation process forward passed, despite calls for more community commitments and financial contributions from the tech giant.

Opponents of the delay argued the project should continue through normal approval channels. The proposal is now slated for another reading before the council's final vote on the annexation, expected next month.
