Salix City Council approves Google proposal for data center review, Google provides update

The Salix City Council approved an agreement allowing Google to pay all costs incurred by the city while it reviews a possible data center in the Iowa community. The action moves forward the municipal review process but does not constitute final approval of the facility.

The proposal has drawn local opposition. Salix residents gathered in the city park on June 15 to protest the potential data center, while Google provided an update on its proposal.
