Dakota County: Lawsuit alleges Hampton officials kept public in dark on data center

Hampton Township residents have sued the city of Hampton, alleging violations of Minnesota's government data practices act regarding a proposed data center. The lawsuit claims city officials failed to provide requested data, illegally redacted information, and used unofficial channels to circumvent open meeting laws. The developer, Oppidan, has since paused its data center project in Hampton, citing state regulatory timelines.
