Standing room only as a large crowd gathers to ask questions and express concerns on a potential data center project in Coffeyville.
City Manager Ben Brubaker, Director of Electric Services Chris Weiner and Montgomery County Action Council Director Melissa Johnson spoke during the meeting about the potential project and the impacts it could have on the area. Brubaker says they have received four proposals for a data center.
A number of Coffeyville residents and residents from surrounding areas spoke during the meeting, with a majority of the crowd not in favor of the data center. The meeting was just informational and no decision was made. The City Commission will consider the four proposals at the upcoming meeting on Tuesday. The first step is for a study to be done to determine if the area can support any of the proposed data centers.
