'Level the information playing field:' Data Center Town Hall scheduled in Rock County
A town hall meeting is scheduled in Rock County, Wisconsin, to discuss the ongoing data center debate. The event aims to provide residents with comprehensive information about the potential impacts and risks of data center developments, moving beyond the often "rosy" presentations from big tech.
WKOW 27 News reports on an upcoming data center town hall scheduled for tomorrow, August 28, at Blackhawk Technical College in Rock County, Wisconsin. The event is designed to address the "data center debate" and provide community members with a comprehensive understanding of the topic.
The town hall, which is open to the public, will feature speakers like Britney Keys and Prescott Bolch. Keys expressed frustration that "big tech" often presents only a "rosy side" of data center development without fully disclosing potential impacts. Bolch emphasized the goal of "leveling the information playing field," allowing the community to understand all risks and decide whether to accept or reject data center projects with "eyes wide open."
Additional details about the conversation with Keys and Bolch are available on wkow.com. The town hall doors open at 5:15 PM, with the program beginning at 6:00 PM.
