Citizen petition advances in Monticello data center debate

A citizen petition in Monticello, Minnesota, seeking additional environmental review for a proposed data center site by Monticello Tech LLC, has cleared its first hurdle with state officials. The City of Monticello is now designated as the Responsible Governmental Unit and must decide whether to require an Environmental Assessment Worksheet. This process is unfolding amidst local opposition and the city's ongoing work on a data center zoning ordinance.
