A proposal to build a data center in Cottonwood County was put on a 60-day hold, yesterday, so an environmental study can be completed.
The decision came at the close of a County Planning Commission hearing before a large crowd at the BARC Auditorium. Most spoke against the project which would bring $420,000 in annual electric fees to Windom, but carries questions about noise and environmental impacts.
Thursday’s hearing, was an early step in a decision that will ultimately be made by county commissioners. To build, Revolve Labs must receive a conditional use permit for the property which sits east of the Cottonwood Lake area, outside of the Windom city limits.
