Blue Earth County is hosting two open houses about the future of data centers in the community.
The county will be hosting open houses at the Mapleton Community Center on October 20th and the Lake Crystal City Hall on October 26, both from 4 p.m. to 6, and has put out an online survey.
The survey is seeking input on all facets of data centers from property value to energy consumption, and feedback can be given online or at the open houses.
The open houses come as a follow-up to the county’s moratorium on data centers that was passed in August, and the county says that feedback will be used to inform future discussion.
