The budget tentatively allocates about $1 million in anticipated data center revenue to fire, housing, facade, and neighborhood grants, plus $2.2 million for Project NOVA homelessness response. Some council members want these needs funded regardless of whether the data center deal happens.
Deep Green Conditional Rezoning Z-3-2026
A $120 million, 24-megawatt heat-reuse data center is proposed on a city-owned parking lot in the 200 block of S. Cedar. Residents and council are split: union trades see jobs and tax base, opponents see noise, emissions, water risk and lost downtown housing potential. Council heard hours of testimony and will decide the land sale and rezoning on February 23.
