Ty's Take

Blake Hodits knows exactly what people around here are thinking, and he's not shy about saying it back at them. The data center proposal has been the kind of story that divides a room faster than politics at a dock bar, and this week he's making his case directly instead of letting the rumors do the talking for him. Whether you're worried about what a major development like that does to the character of these waters and neighborhoods, or you see it as the kind of economic shot in the arm a lake community needs to keep growing, you're probably going to want to hear what he has to say about annexation into Linn Creek and what the actual footprint of this thing looks like. These decisions don't come around often enough that locals can afford to miss the details.
