Sioux County discusses proposed data center

Sioux County officials and residents discussed a proposed data center by PathOne Data Centers at the former Bison Renewable Energy plant, two weeks after the county passed a one-year moratorium on data center construction. PathOne representatives addressed concerns regarding water usage, electricity, and community impact, emphasizing their focus on brownfield sites and responsible development. Supervisors underscored the need for specific answers on potential impacts before any decisions are made.
