South Wood County Neighbors for Responsible Development

South Wood County Neighbors for Responsible Development We value the health and safety of our economy and environment.

We are a non-partisan group of concerned citizens that are in favor of responsible economic development, but do not feel large-scale data centers are a responsible choice for our communities.

This issue unites us. Forget the politics, race, age, gender; in fighting this data center we stand together.

📌📌Good day everyone!📌📌

Yesterday at our weekly McMillan Memorial Library meeting, Marissa stated we would pin some important documents to the top of our FB feed for quick reference. Here are those documents. We will leave this pinned indefinitely, so you have easy access to them. We will be adding to this list as other important documents become available. These are in chronological order, from when they were initially released.

If you have any questions about these docs, please reach out to us or comment 🙂

A somewhat gentle, or at least calm reminder; this application was always meant to go to planning commission. It did not on May 4th, but instead, has now been scheduled for September 16th.

We ask you to understand that the government has processes that must be followed by law.

Thank you as always for your continued support and help in educating our community about the proposed data center.

Hey all!

Here are a couple new logos, that also work for 1. Facebook profile photo and 2. FB cover photo.

I created these images and give full permission for all to use and distribute.

Thank you đź«¶

P.S. I can’t believe this has to be repeatedly stated, but, no AI generated images used. Ever.

Weekly data center educational discussion meeting

08/24/2026

Small new issue for us to tackle on the administrative side of our page. Please let us know if you get any of these random messages so we can try to fix it.

And while we are on the subject of AI being pushed on us; let us clear the air a little.
Our group is VERY ANTI AI. We DO NOT use generative AI in any of our work. We do not use it to write these captions or our emails or any of our writing. We DO NOT ask AI questions about how we can defeat the proposal. We do not like or trust generative AI whatsoever and we do not condone using it, nor do we ever use it by choice.
