May 19, 2026 Join MEIC and partners on May 19 in Missoula for a panel discussion to learn about the data centers being proposed in Montana, including one in Bonner, what is at stake, and how we can organize to protect our communities and our future. This panel discussion will dive deeper into data center development in Montana, especially in the Missoula area. Panelists will explore how public engagement can protect communities and how past efforts can offer lessons in creating change through public engagement. Free and open to the public!
