A packed Town hall expected tonight in Montgomery City as community members will gather at the Montgomery County High School at 7 p.m.
The forum comes as community leaders have announced their approval of a nearly 2,000-acre mega site for two data centers. They include Amazon’s plans to construct a 1,000-acre facility that will begin with four buildings, and potentially up to 13 buildings. Another data center, the New York-based Spade Property, is approximately 850 acres, and will including three primary buildings, a security guard station and a visitor center.
The meeting aims to address environmental concerns surrounding the data centers and give people an opportunity to hear research from environmental experts and community leaders.
Earlier this month, the Commission announced its approval of a tax break for the Green Amazon data center project, which has spurred intense community discussions about the project’s implications, both good and bad.
The proposed site is located near the I-70 and Highway 19 interchange.
