A petition to put Cheyenne’s planned Microsoft data-centre campus annexation to a public vote has fallen short of the signature threshold, leaving the council’s decision in place.
Why it mattersCap City News reports that 1,796 signatures were verified as belonging to eligible Cheyenne voters, against the 2,740 required. The petition challenged the council’s July annexation of 3,500 acres intended for Microsoft to purchase. It is a local vote about a substantial computing project, with residents’ route to a referendum now closed.
Discuss: Should major data-centre developments face a public vote, or should elected councils make the call?
