Duluth Area Chamber of Commerce responds to losing members over support of data center (St Louis County)

FOX21 Duluth reports

The Duluth Area Chamber of Commerce is responding to backlash – and the loss of multiple business memberships – after they announced their support of the proposed data center in Hermantown.

In a letter sent to members of the Chamber, they reiterated their reasoning behind their support.

They also restated that two of the main concerns being expressed locally come from other projects across the country and they are negated by the specifics of this project.

This letter comes after Zenith Bookstore, Townline Farms, and Loban Dental announced they have ended their membership as a result of this decision.
