Summary
Lawrence is at a crossroads over data centers: should the city ban them? Residents demand a moratorium, citing sky-high water and energy demands, while developers tout massive tax revenue. Nationally, 71% oppose data centers in their communities — and locals are showing their stance with “No Data Center” signs. The debate heats up as Lawrence weighs its water resources, potential income, and regional energy costs — all while neighboring towns like De Soto race to become tech hubs.
