In response to the news that an unidentified client is asking the city to confirm if a data center would be allowed in the former Hynix building, we definitely DO NOT WANT A DATA CENTER IN EUGENE OR EVEN IN LANE COUNTY.

And, yes, the zoning laws need to include protection for our water and power from all industry.
