Conway, Arkansas – Residents of Conway will have another chance to weigh in on a proposed data center project as city officials prepare to hold a public committee meeting aimed at gathering feedback and addressing community concerns.
The meeting has been called by Mayor Bart Castleberry and is scheduled for Tuesday, May 12, from 5:00 to 6:00 p.m. It will take place in the Council Chambers at Conway City Hall. City leaders say the session is designed to give residents a direct opportunity to speak with committee members and share their views on the project before any further decisions are made.
According to city officials, the proposed data center has generated interest and questions from the public, prompting the need for an open forum where concerns can be discussed in a structured setting. The city has emphasized that public input remains an important part of the process as the project continues to be reviewed.
“We know residents have questions and concerns about this proposed project,” said Mayor Bart Castleberry. “While we may not have every answer at this stage, we want to listen, gather feedback, and make sure the people of Conway have another opportunity to be heard.”
The planned meeting will focus on discussion rather than final decisions, giving community members a chance to ask questions, express opinions, and raise issues related to the potential development. City officials have noted that feedback gathered during the session will help guide future considerations regarding the proposal.
Data centers have become a growing topic of discussion in many cities, often tied to questions about land use, infrastructure demands, and long-term economic impact. While supporters point to potential benefits such as job creation and investment, residents in various communities have also raised concerns about environmental impact, energy use, and overall community fit.
For Conway officials, the upcoming meeting represents another step in maintaining transparency as the proposal moves through the early stages of review. City leaders have encouraged residents with interest in the project to attend and participate in the conversation.
The meeting is open to the public and will run for one hour, from 5:00 to 6:00 p.m., at City Hall.
