It needs 362 valid signatures. Whether it made the ballot is not known.
✋ Turned down
After hours of public comment, La Pine City Council voted unanimously not to sell 19.5 acres of industrial park land to Boxminer for a 20-megawatt data center. In March the council had voted (non-binding) to start the sale process.
