Ames Council Weighs Data Center Future | Des Moines News

Ames City Council gears up for a pivotal Tuesday night meeting at 6 PM to decide the future of data centers — specifically, a major proposal from LightEdge to build a sprawling facility near the airport. After community input last month, the council must now choose whether to pursue lease talks or walk away. But it’s not just about this one project — they’re also crafting long-term rules to regulate future data center developments, with guidance from the city attorney’s memo on the table. No public comments during the meeting, but residents can still email their thoughts. This decision could reshape Ames’ tech infrastructure for years to come.
