I believe it is a good thing, but it should have been approved by the voters. Not created in the illegitimate manner that it was. A very unorthodox way to serve the public. I have mixed feeling about how this was done.

It matters not hoe this was approved. MODOT will fritter the money away, just as they have their entire existence.

MODOT will waste the money just as they have all their career. MODOT is a money pit and giving them more money is a waste of money time and effort.

Only if they want massive investment that dramatically expands their taxbase and builds modern infrastructure close to the end users to support a growing futuristic economy. Unfortunately, Columbia city council listens to misguided special interests who live in leftist utopia dreamworld.

City leaders would rather tax the citizens. They don't want the city to grow.

Large data centers can consume up to 5 million gallons of water per day, which is equivalent to the water use of a small city. Additionally, they can draw as much electricity as 100,000 homes or more, significantly impacting local resources. That is simply unacceptable.
