Shaena Crossland, originally from Grant County and a current Tucker County resident, appeared before the council to express concerns about the controversial proposed data center that could be built in Tucker County. Crossland appeared before the council as a representative of the organization Tucker United, a grassroots effort founded last year to help spread awareness about the potential dangers of the data center. One of the initial founding issues concerned a heavily redacted air quality permit from a company named Fundamental Data.
