Topeka Council Probes Compass Data Center | Topeka News

Topeka’s City Council held a pivotal meeting to grill Compass Data Centers on its Shawnee County plans, with Mayor Spencer Duncan calling it the first real chance to hold the company accountable. While Compass offered some answers and Evergy outlined its energy reliability process, key questions remained unanswered — sparking frustration among residents like Colleen Campbell who crave more transparency. Though no decision on lifting the data center moratorium is imminent, the council vows to keep pushing for clarity, urging Compass to directly engage Topeka citizens — not just officials — and planning future open houses to empower community input. This is just the beginning of an ongoing dialogue. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
