Spokane’s data center debate doesn’t have to be an all-or-nothing decision.

SMART Local 55 and other members of the Spokane Building Trades support enforceable standards that protect local water supplies, maintain reliable electrical service, safeguard residential ratepayers and create lasting opportunities for local workers.

Organized labor is making its voice heard. As of July 21, approximately 690 letters had been sent to elected officials supporting responsible data center development and meaningful community involvement.

Spokane deserves development that strengthens our community and creates good local union jobs.
