Grant County Data Center Joint Public Hearing

The Grant County Planning Commission and the Board of County Commissioners will meet jointly at 4:00 p.m.

This is the final scheduled opportunity for the ordinance text to be changed before it moves forward.

The Planning Commission may recommend the ordinance with or without amendments. The Board of County Commissioners may then hold a first reading by title and schedule a second reading.

Why Attendance Matters

Attendance matters even if you do not plan to speak. A full room sends a message.

Please arrive by 3:45 p.m. when possible.

If You Choose to Speak

Keep your comments simple and focused. State:

• Your name
• Where you live
• The one issue you came to address

Two minutes is enough.
