Minneapolis council weighs future of data centers

State of play: The council is expected to decide whether to require any new data center project to submit itself to an up-or-down council vote.

• Council Member Aurin Chowdhury tells Axios she also plans to propose an amendment that would require any facility over 50,000 square feet to enroll in a green energy program.

What we're watching: Whether Mayor Jacob Frey supports changes to the proposal. A spokesperson tells Axios he's still talking with council members.
