I’m slow posting this video. Sometimes you need a 7-hour drive to Chicago to catch up on videos. But the topic still seems timely. It’s from a session on Data Center Forum: Impacts in Dakota County hosted by MN Women’s Press & CRDCD on Aug 20, 2025 in Farmington MN
Here’s their description from YouTube:
How do Data Centers Impact Dakota County? This was a Forum held in Farmington MN on August 20, 2025, co-sponsored by MN Women’s Press and the Coalition for Responsible Data Center Development. Eight panelists were invited to share their knowledge and answer questions. This was a very engaging community discussion that should enlighten any listener interested in learning more about various aspects of the growth of data centers in Minnesota and nationwide.
