Residents deserve clear information, environmental review, and a say in decisions that affect their water, land, and tax dollars. Annexation for a data center could mean:
- Higher utility rates if local infrastructure must be expanded
- Increased pressure on water resources, especially during drought years
- Long‑term land‑use changes that shape the future of Linn County
- A precedent for more industrial development without adequate transparency
What Can You Do?Contact the Palo City CouncilAsk them to vote NO on annexation for Google’s data center project until the public has full transparency on water use, energy demand, environmental impacts, and long‑term costs.
Key points you can mention:
- Annexation should not move forward without full public disclosure
- Data centers bring high resource demands
- Palo residents and neighbors deserve a transparent, community‑driven process
- Protect local water, farmland, and infrastructure
