PathOne Data Centers will host an informational meeting Monday evening in Orange City to discuss its plans for Sioux County and answer questions from area residents.
According to information shared by the Sioux County Auditor’s Office, the meeting will run from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m., with doors opening at 5:00 p.m. It will be held in the main courtroom on the second floor of the Sioux County Courthouse, located at 210 Central Avenue Southwest.
Attendance will be limited to 150 people because of the courtroom’s capacity. Residents must register, and that can be done here.
Project Details and Potential Impacts
PathOne representatives plan to introduce the company, explain why it is considering Sioux County and discuss what a data center is—and is not.
The presentation will also cover how data centers are constructed and operated, along with potential impacts involving electricity, water, noise and construction.
Representatives are expected to discuss possible economic benefits, including jobs, tax revenue and other community benefits. PathOne will also outline its anticipated project timeline.
Questions and Open Discussion
A significant portion of the meeting is expected to be reserved for questions and open discussion.
PathOne says residents do not need to support the project to attend.
“Whether you’re supportive, skeptical, or simply want accurate information before forming your own opinion, you’re welcome,” the company said.
PathOne added that it believes communities deserve facts, transparency, and respectful conversations.
As of now, Sioux County’s one-year data center moratorium remains in effect.
