Mandan residents packed a town hall to push back on a proposed data center, raising alarms about water use, power demand, and noise. The fight is expected to move to city hall soon, so expect local officials to face pressure over what the project costs the community.

Impact analysis
A data center could bring new tax revenue and construction jobs, but Mandan may have to spend more on water, power, and noise mitigation—so the financial trade-off is still up for debate.
The developer and construction workers stand to gain, and the city could see a bigger tax base if the project pencils out.
Neighbors could get stuck with noise and utility strain, and ratepayers might foot infrastructure upgrades.
