Developer to Host Neighborhood Meeting on Proposed Data Center in Inver Grove Heights
Published: March 16th, 2026 |
INVER GROVE HEIGHTS: Residents will have an opportunity later this month to learn more about a proposed data center project planned for a site along Carmen Avenue in Inver Grove Heights.
According to city information, the project developer will host a neighborhood meeting regarding a proposed data center at 5842 Carmen Ave. E., the former site of Travel Tags, Inc.
The meeting is scheduled for Thursday, March 26, 2026, from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. at the Veterans Memorial Community Center, located at 8055 Barbara Ave.
City officials say the proposed data center building would be approximately one-third the size of the former Travel Tags facility that previously occupied the property.
The neighborhood meeting will be informal and hosted by the developer, allowing nearby residents to hear a presentation about the project and ask questions. Officials note that residents can provide comments during the meeting, but it is not a formal public hearing.
If the proposal moves forward, any additional major site plan or subdivision applications would require separate public hearings before the Planning Commission and the City Council at a later date.
City staff say the meeting is intended to give residents living near the proposed project an opportunity to learn more about the plans directly from the developer’s team before the formal review process begins.
Residents with questions about the meeting or the proposal can contact the city’s planning department at planning@ighmn.gov.
