Impact analysis
A data center could bring large capital investment but few permanent jobs; opponents warn of water, power, and property-value costs.
Potentially the city's tax base if a project were ever approved — though the council has signaled it will not pursue one.
Opponents say residents would bear water, energy, environmental, and quality-of-life costs.
