Lamar City Council meeting of November 10, 2026 was heated at times with citizen complaints about City’s transparency over data centers
Addressing the audience at the beginning of the November 10, 2026 Lamar City Council meeting, Mayor Kirk Crespin said that for the past few months there have been numerous concerns and discussions regarding the potential of data centers wishing to locate here. He reiterated that Council listened to citizens’ wishes that data centers not locate here and had worked on details of the moratorium that would be presented and voted on later in the night’s meeting. He said his biggest concern was that until Council approved the proposed 18-month moratorium, the city was at risk if a data center applied for building, construction or utility permits. He said that if the night’s First Reading of the Ordinance passed, it would temporarily block any such permits and that after the Second Reading was passed, the moratorium would be implemented and that the City’s Council/community member committee spearheaded by Council member Mark Headlee could get to work on the specifics.
