Beale Infrastructure ended its pursuit of the Gardner site after the City withdrew the project’s economic incentives. This page is a reference for what residents raised during that debate — not a call to organize around an active application.

What stayed on this site

The Proposal and Myths pages still explain, in plain language, what a hyperscale data center can mean next to homes — useful context if the land or a similar use comes up again. Resources links local agendas, regulators, and reporting from other communities.

Petition (historical)

During the campaign, neighbors used a Change.org petition to show scale of concern. The page may still exist as a record of that period.

Official contacts

Emails and phone numbers for Gardner officials, USD 231, and the Johnson County commissioner are on the Representatives page. Draft messages open with a short template you can edit; they are for general civic use, not tied to an active vote on this developer.

Meetings

Dates that were circulated while the rezoning was live are on Meetings, with calendar downloads for City and school sessions. Developer-hosted sessions were cancelled when Beale withdrew; confirm any remaining items on official Gardner agendas.
