Logan County residents are organizing a protest against Hut 8's proposed 500-megawatt data center in Latham. The community has expressed concerns regarding environmental impacts and the limited number of permanent jobs, with many fearing that promised benefits do not outweigh potential risks.
A recent third-party study approved by the Logan County zoning and economic development authorities aims to assess the potential strain on local resources. The county's moratorium on data centers is nearing its end, prompting increased urgency among residents who are gathering signatures for a petition against the project.
The next Logan County Board meeting is scheduled for Wednesday at 6pm. If the data center is built, long-term agricultural land use may be compromised.
