McKenzie County Economic Development will be hosting a Natural Gas Utilization and Data Center Open House and Information Session on Thursday, June 25 from 5:30 - 8:30 p.m. at the McKenzie County Ag Expo.

This event is intended to provide residents, landowners, business owners, elected officials, and community members with an opportunity to learn more about natural gas utilization opportunities and data centers through an educational, station-based format. Rather than formal presentations, attendees will be able to visit information stations at their own pace, ask questions directly to subject matter experts, and engage in one-on-one discussions.

Participating organizations include the North Dakota Department of Commerce, North Dakota Pipeline Authority, North Dakota Department of Environmental Quality, North Dakota Department of Water Resources, McKenzie Electric Cooperative, the North Dakota Small Business Development Center, the City of Ellendale, and McKenzie County Planning & Zoning.

This open house is not affiliated with any data center developer or company; and its purpose is not to advocate for or against any specific project or policy. Rather, the goal is to provide factual information specific to North Dakota and McKenzie County, answer questions, and facilitate informed community discussions about the potential impacts, considerations, and opportunities associated with data center development and natural gas utilization opportunities.
