(Forest Grove, OR) -- Forest Grove City Council members are considering fighting back against plans to build a data center near a local middle school. Council members discussed an appeal from a resident yesterday to stop California-based Crane Data Centers from moving forward with the multi-million-dollar development near Neal Armstrong Middle School. The resident tells KATU-2 that data centers are "energy hogs" and that the development could strain the state's power supply and increase electricity costs for locals. The Forest Grove planning commission approved plans for the data center last month.
