More than one dozen shots were fired into the front door on Monday morning, with a note left behind reading “no data centers.” Gibson has backed a controversial data center proposal.<\/p>\n

The attack was addressed during a city-county council meeting on Monday night.<\/p>\n

Metrobloks, the company behind the data center project, called the violence unacceptable.<\/p>\n
