Provider notes
Community. Public hearings on the proposed conversion of a 60,000-square-foot industrial building were dominated by opposition. The City Council rejected the zoning-ordinance changes that would have permitted data centers in industrial zones, anticipated denying the permit at its 2026-08-03 meeting, and directed staff to draft a one-year moratorium; the developer then withdrew its application. Resident objections centred on noise, energy consumption, diesel generator emissions and health impacts on nearby homes and schools.
What the source record says
Proposed converting a vacant, ~62,000 sq ft former injection-molding building into a 33MW data center. Elk River City Council unanimously rejected the zoning amendment 2026-07-06; the developer withdrew its application shortly after.
Any MW value is reproduced as source-reported context. Its measurement boundary is not established consistently enough for comparison. Unknown is not zero.
