I saw some other company did this same thing in Iowa. They hold these public meetings at private facilities so that they can police who is and isnt allowed to attend. In the Iowa case they told all reporters (I believe it was A More Perfect Union that was covering this) that they weren't allowed in the building, which caused a scene when residents found out, which lead to them abruptly canceling the meeting early and the datacenter people blaming it on reporters being in the vicinity. I believe in this case they also had the city council sign NDAs so that they couldn't talk about it either, which doesnt seem like something that should be legal (if it even is).
