Locals concerned about potential data center coming to Yuma

YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA) - Conversations about a potential data center coming to Yuma continues to leave locals concerned.

Protesters arrived at a private informational meeting demanding answers.

A private informational the meeting was hosted by the Greater Yuma Economic Development Corporation Friday morning.

Doors were left open to the public and reluctantly opened their doors to the public after protestors invited themselves to attend.

“What I want here is representation and transparency. Representation from our representatives and listening to the community and if we as a community choose, we want this then ok, that's what we as a community choose but not something that is opposed on US,” said Priscila Ruedas, a Yuma local.

There are no definite plans for a data center in Yuma, however, discussions about the possibility are ongoing.
