City council sets September 17 as final vote date for Project Taurus data center

The Colorado Springs City Council set September 17 as the final hearing date for Project Taurus, a proposed data center to move into the old Intel building. Significant opposition remains concerning the plan, which requires up to 50 megawatts of power and 200,000 gallons of water daily. Controversy is mounting over the council's proposal to limit public comment during the hearing to only 120 speakers.
