The residents of Beaver Dam had a Meta data center approved and construction started before they even knew what was happening. The city leaders of Beaver Dam continue to refuse their requests for a Town Hall so they can voice their concerns and get some answers to their questions.
This event is their chance to finally have that happen since the Mayor and Common Council don’t have the courage or decency to face the people who they did this to. This is especially important since there is now a second data center proposal that they will be voting on in a March Common Council meeting.
