$1-million storage and shop space will be built at 162 Yates Ave.<\/p>\n
Construction is getting underway on a Yates Avenue industrial lot bought by Protexxa and Missanabie Cree Business LP to build a five-megawatt cybersecurity and data centre.<\/p>\n
The City of Sault Ste. Marie granted a building permit last month for a $1-million\u00a0storage and shop space at 162 Yates Ave.<\/p>\n
First reported by SooToday last December, the development was estimated to provide a minimum of 200 new jobs, up to 1,000 jobs when fully operational.<\/p>\n
However, opposition to the data centre drew protestors to the Ronald A. Irwin Civic Centre on Aug. 10.<\/p>\n
Less than\u00a0one week later, news broke of a much larger data centre proposed on land held by Algoma Steel.<\/p>\n
At its most recent meeting, city council voted to slap an interim moratorium on big data centres, but their decision didn\u2019t change their earlier approval of the smaller Yates Avenue project.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"$1-million storage and shop space will be built at 162 Yates Ave. Construction is getting underway on a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":893702,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[45,49,48,309618],"class_list":["post-893701","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-business","tag-business","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-protexxasault-ste-marie-city-council"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/893701","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=893701"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/893701\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/893702"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=893701"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=893701"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=893701"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
