Butte Community Conversation: Proposed Data Centers:

Oct 16, 2025
5:30 PM - 7:30 PM

How will data centers impact water resources, energy bills, and budgets for firefighting and public safety? How has the Greeley Stakeholders Group collaboration with Montana Resources used public engagement to create change?

Join this panel discussion on October 16, which will explore changing state and federal energy policy and NorthWestern Energy proposals that could raise electricity bills. The panelists will also dive deeper into data center development in Montana, especially in Butte, and how public engagement can protect Butte.
