Brilliant reporting. This is why I come to Substack. Having seen those data centers in up the river in Boardman as well, and having grown up in a company town (coal and power station), I hope the county is putting the money to good use. It may not be around forever.
I lived in Oregon for over a decade and know this area. It's sad to see the corporate takeover and the threats to the environment. Thank you for putting together such a well-researched piece.

This is yet another example of Big Tech failed promises of prosperity if a local community hitches its horse to their wagon.
