Oregon Economic Development Foundation

As conversations continue about Oregon’s future, we wanted to share some of the project’s public history.

This process began on November 4, 2024, and every step has taken place during public City Council meetings. Throughout the process, the project has been presented publicly, with discussions covering the anticipated development timeline, infrastructure needs, and how the project was expected to move forward.

It’s also worth noting that the Oregon City Schools Board of Education has supported the project from the beginning, and that position has remained consistent throughout the process.

Whether you’re just learning about the project or have been following it from the beginning, these meetings provide valuable context on how it has progressed.

We encourage everyone to take the time to watch the meetings, review the public record, and form their own opinions based on the information that has been shared throughout the process.

As conversations continue around data centers and infrastructure, we believe it’s important to share information from a variety of sources—including the companies themselves.

Vantage Data Centers recently published an article outlining its approach to responsible growth, including commitments related to energy infrastructure, protecting residential ratepayers, water stewardship, and community investment.

One statement from the article reads:

“Vantage Data Centers is committed to ensuring that we pay our fair share to build and use the electricity generation and transmission we need. We are also committed to ensuring that homeowners and small businesses are not burdened with additional costs because of our projects and investments.”

We encourage everyone to stay informed by reading information directly from the source.
