Update: Missoula County received the following message from Mike Heisey, who owns the building the proposed data center would be in:

"After hearing from the public and understanding what the concerns are, I have decided to withdraw my signature from the Krambu special exception application. Bonner Property will not be moving forward with the data center proposed by them. We appreciate the public's feedback and will continue to actively pursue clients for the mill site. Thank you. Mike Heisey"


This development means the project will not move forward.
