We are beginning to see growing public concern regarding data center development in Spokane, with both the Spokane City Council and County Commissioners expressing support for potential moratoriums on future projects.

We believe it is important for the community to have a constructive conversation about this issue. Rather than assuming data centers can simply be prevented from coming to our region, we would like to help educate the public on the importance of being actively involved in shaping how these facilities are planned, developed, and integrated into our community.

We are interested in ensuring that our IBEW and Building Trades members have an opportunity to share their perspectives with local elected officials. Check out the IBEW Data Center Principles.
