Will's excellent OpEd on the costs and benefits of a data center in Fredericksburg should be read by every voter. This city must act now if it does not want to be left out of this chance to improve its finances.

When will the necessary water infrastructure be in place? Who will pay for it? What will be done in the meantime? Will the conditions of the 2005 MOU be met? Where will the electrical infrastructure be placed? What is the city prepared to invest to make sure community concerns are met? It was prepared to invest millions to get the Veterans medical facility. These are just a few questions that council had at least a year to address and didn’t. And “we” have talked about this since 2019 is not correct. Posted on this claim in Inform Fredericksburg.

As for the city’s financial situation a question to be asked is how did we get here?

So whatever it takes to make the deal should be the approach? The city advertising its desperation does not bode well for the negotiations to come.
