Data center concerns?
There is a special Salem city council meeting tonight, August 3rd, at the Library (Loucks Auditorium) to discuss a moratorium on data centers in Salem and the possibility of rewriting city code around data centers.

Much of our code is outdated based on the recent changes to this industry because of AI.

Come to the meeting or follow along on the CCTV stream on YouTube. Search for meetings on YouTube
