The transformation of the I.G. Homes Branch of Boys & Girls Clubs of the Valley - @bgcarizona is already remarkable. Some of the signature elements of our Community Project each year are murals designed by Sara Altieri, M.A. of Green Heart Gallery (https://t.co/btXqbWYdwN)

Oberholtzer: We have created our own enemy through AI or what she called, "artificial information." The power situation is the real problem when it comes to data centers.

[Valley Partnership @ValleyPartners]

Vaz: We are fighting the social media war, where people are getting most of their information regarding data centers through Tik Tok and Instagram.

[Valley Partnership @ValleyPartners]

The reality of water usage for data centers nowadays is that most of it is being used for the required landscaping.

[Valley Partnership @ValleyPartners]

Vaz: The main issue with data centers is the standpoint of trying to manage them like a box. She shares a point that it can be compared to wanting your phone to work, but not wanting the wireless to be built by your house.

[Valley Partnership @ValleyPartners]

Oberholtzer: There's a lot at stake regarding data centers. The struggle that we are all facing is that data centers are not new to us, if there is a true negative impact then we need to know that.

[Valley Partnership @ValleyPartners]

Hayes: Prop 207 has been around for about 20 years now. It has now become a tool that has been used more frequently regarding data centers.

[Valley Partnership @ValleyPartners]

Galvin steers the conversation towards Prop 207 issues. Oberholtzer starts by sharing her insights on the proposition and how her and her partners address the waivers to their clients.

[Valley Partnership @ValleyPartners]

Hayes talks about the success of golf courses and how most are ready for redevelopment. He brings up the Cottonfields Golf course in Southwest Phoenix as a prime example of successful rezoning.

[Valley Partnership @ValleyPartners]

Vaz discusses the idea that zoning cases are solved in threes.

[Valley Partnership @ValleyPartners]

Oberholtzer: The goals have to align and there has to be a common will. The evolution of the city's understanding will lead to the passing of more codes.
