'Biggest meeting ever': Data center development concerns take over Marshall meeting

A development meeting in Marshall, in which a proposed data center and gas generation plant was not even on the agenda, drew an unexpectedly large crowd of upset residents Thursday night. The relatively small room was packed with at least 30 residents. Among those gathered, all who chose to speak did so on the topic of the proposed data center and gas plant, with many calls for greater transparency and communication. Some residents told the board they had only recently heard about the Local Development Finance Authority's (LDFA) unanimous vote on Oct. 30 to enter into a purchase agreement with Alterra Development of land inside Brooks Industrial Park. _______________ Stay up to date with our social media: WWMT on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/wwmtnews WWMT on Twitter: https://twitter.com/wwmtnews Subscribe to WWMT on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAYwomlsmN0DsPeeumEKFXg/?sub_confirmation=1 WWMT Daily News Digest: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-oNVYSgKM8IBYJOY5M-p37vKcILekLNz For more information, visit https://www.wwmt.com/ Have a news tip?
