A Salix City Council meeting set for Wednesday evening to address such topics as a possible data center moratorium has been postponed.
Salix Mayor Kevin Nelson told Siouxland Public Media News at 11 a.m., or eight hours ahead of the meeting start, that the meeting is postponed due to "death threats and terroristic threats."
Nelson said those threats were "reported to the Woodbury County Sheriff's Office this morning, and they are investigating."
At the July 8 Salix council meeting, residents asked their representatives to place a moratorium on any large-scale data centers being placed on city land. The council voted 3-2 in support of a concept of such a one-year pause.
There needs to be one more council vote to fully effectuate the moratorium.
Google announced last week that they will pursue a data center, in concert by working with MidAmerican Energy.
