Even though one data center project has pulled out of Great Falls, there are still companies interested in setting up shop in town.
Join the conversation at Haute Hive on the evening of Jan. 8 with MEIC, Citizens for Clean Energy, Golden Triangle Resource Council, Upper Missouri Waterkeeper, and Great Falls Rising.
We’ll talk about: How data centers impact water resources, energy bills, and budgets for wastewater treatment, firefighting and public safety. This panel is free and open to the public.
