While driving down an East Texas country road I spotted this scene. The autumn trees and the late afternoon sun made these golden bales of hay shine just a little bit more. Fortunately I had my camera with me. (c) James Q. Eddy Jr.

Joplin Data Center Town Hall

Joplin Deserves the Gold Standard ✨

We are collaborating with state and local advocacy groups on a Community Benefits Agreement (CBA) designed by local residents, for local residents.

This agreement creates legally binding protections that go above and beyond minimal state and federal rules. Committing to the highest standards, ensures we aren't just waiting for the government to protect us. We are taking the lead to future-proof Joplin so that our air, water, and property values remain intact.

Join us for a Town Hall meeting to find out more and help us discuss these protections:

📍 Where: Joplin Public Library, 1901 E 20th (Community Room)

🗓️ When: Saturday, April 4th from 3:00 PM – 4:00 PM

This is your chance to ask questions and learn about all the options available to our community.

🗣️ GUEST SPEAKER: Kathy Christy of the Missouri Coalition for the Environment will be sharing their thoughts on environmental protections and details of their state-wide efforts.

⚠️ PETITION UPDATE: The deadline for our Moratorium signatures has changed! To make the November ballot we need to turn in our signatures by July 18th.

Our resources are too valuable to leave to chance. Let’s lock in the gold standard for the Wildwood Ranch data center project together.
