Hermantown, MN Council Set to Vote on Data Center Permit, Reject EAW Petition

The Hermantown City Council is scheduled to consider two resolutions related to the Harmony Group Data Center Project at its meeting on Oct. 26, 2026, according to the published agenda.

According to the agenda, item 2026-132 is a resolution rejecting a citizen petition for an Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW) for the Harmony Group Data Center Project, to be decided by motion and roll call vote. Item 2026-133, listed immediately after, is a resolution approving a special use permit for construction of a communication services facility described as a data center.

The agenda indicates these matters affect residents through the city’s land use and environmental review process.
