GRANGER — The packed room of more than 150 residents weren’t ready to quit after a consultant’s half-hour presentation Thursday about the proposed industrial rezoning of more than 900 acres at St. Joe Farm.  

They wanted to ask their own questions. So, when one county official said that wasn’t the plan for the meeting, they started to bellow them out across the cafeteria room at St. Pius Catholic School. 

“Who’s the buyer?” one person asked about the data center that the unnamed developer wants to build there.

“Are you going to talk about how much power is used to run the data center?” another asked. 

“How much water is going to be used?”
