A proposal for a data center here was met with a lot of opposition and was 
ultimately withdrawn. The county declared a moratorium on zoning for data 
centers and is weighing its options since the state government if AI 
friendly. The proposed center would be housed in an old lumber mill 
complex so it wouldn't even have created many construction jobs. 

Also the US House District One flipped because the Republican was in favor 
of data centers despite the Democratic candidate being a recent transplant 
with a questionable record. Fun times. 

I was momentarily confused since there now are AI PACs in addition to 
AIPAC. Locally both are as popular as STDs.
