Residents and Tribal members in Massena have voiced opposition to proposed data centers, while officials in Ogdensburg are considering proposals connected to the Diamond site. An attorney said the city should not consider those proposals outside the request-for-proposals process, although a Shade Roller request for proposals could be issued this year.
In Canton, a joint building committee is developing a policy for handling requests to fly flags at municipal offices. The developments were listed among recent local government and community matters in St. Lawrence County.
