Just say no to data centers: Oregon city does a 180 on big data

from Oregon On The Record · host Michael Dunne

On this edition, we talk with Mike Rogoway of the Oregonian about how the city of Hillsboro - once a champion of data centers - recently voted to stop all new construction on these controversial centers. It could be a harbinger of more prohibitions of data centers in Oregon. Then we talk with KLCC's Brian Bull about his story on the Elderberry Wisdom Farm and its struggle for funding in the age of anti-DEI sentiment.
