The Lino Lakes City Council recently held a preliminary discussion about the possibility of exploring policy options related to data centers within the city’s commercial and industrial zoning districts.
The idea for the preliminary discussion was brought forward by Council Member Randy Rennaker.
“We don’t want to be a position where the tail is wagging the dog,” Rennaker said. “Right now, we have the ability to look at this from a broad view and, perhaps, put things in place where we can decide what we want to have on property in our city.”
A heads up to folks in the areas. And a different kind of heads up to communities in a similar position.
