COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — Colorado Springs City Council will vote Thursday on appeals surrounding the Project Taurus data center, a planned facility that would be housed in the old Intel microchip manufacturing plant off Garden of the Gods Road and Centennial Boulevard.
The city planning department approved Raeden's application in June. Since then, several groups have filed appeals.
The first round of appeals went to the Planning Commission in July. The commission denied those appeals. Two groups then appealed to City Council.
