Webinar recording: The Latest on Data Centers in MN: What’s broken and how we can fix it

Sign up to get the latest environmental news from MCEA

From elected officials signing non-disclosure agreements to incomplete environmental reviews, Minnesota’s data center decision-making process has been flawed from the start. 

Across the state, residents are pushing back and demanding transparency, accountability, and a say in decisions that will shape their communities for decades to come. MCEA has filed five lawsuits to bring more transparency and meaningful environmental analysis to the process, but developers continue to press ahead.

Join us for a webinar aimed at unpacking what’s really happening behind the scenes. You’ll hear updates on proposed data centers, MCEA’s legal actions, and how local residents are fighting for a say in what’s being proposed in their communities. We’ll also discuss potential legislative fixes that could help restore public trust and put Minnesota on a better path moving forward.

Guests: Kathryn Hoffman, CEO

MCEA Luke Norquist, John W. Pegg Legal Fellow

MCEA Aubree Derksen, Pine Island resident and organizer
