## Resource

Exploring the growing use of non-disclosure agreements in major development projects and the tension they create between economic development and public transparency. Eri and Laura discuss how elected officials can legally sign NDAs during negotiations involving data centers, technology projects, land deals, and tax incentives, often before residents know what is being planned in their communities. The conversation examines whether confidentiality protects legitimate business interests or prevents the public from having a meaningful voice in decisions that may permanently reshape their towns, resources, and future. #DataCenters #GovernmentTransparency #PublicAccountability #NDAs #OpenGovernment #CommunityImpact #EconomicDevelopment #PublicRecords #LocalGovernment #TechnologyInfrastructure #LandUse #CommunityRights #CivicEngagement #WaterResources #UtilityInfrastructure #PublicPolicy #GovernmentOversight #DevelopmentProjects #OhioPolitics #ArizonaPolitics
