Summary
Residents of Mason County are sounding the alarm over a new data center project, citing poor communication, property damage, and ignored voices as progress rolls into town. State liaison Chris Morris admits to hearing the community’s frustration firsthand and vows to overhaul how these projects are handled—bringing locals into planning earlier and improving transparency. Yet, with a new microgrid data center application just submitted and details still unreviewed, distrust grows. Advocacy groups warn of rushed decisions without community input, while Morris insists public engagement is central to fixing past mistakes—like noise, light, and water pollution—though he acknowledges construction disruptions are unavoidable.
