Ben Verschoor recently spoke before city officials, urging them to halt the development of a potential data center at the Wood Haven site. Verschoor explained that he discovered details of a previous, failed deal through public information requests, where land would have been leased to a major tech company for a data center.
He emphasized that the proposed data center development is "incredibly unpopular" with the people the officials represent. Verschoor called upon the city council, or corresponding body, to reconsider and not proceed with the project, reiterating concerns previously raised by others and highlighting the significant public opposition.
