From the meeting
The committee scheduled presentations on the application process and water usage by hyperscale data centers, including input from Cass Rural Water Users District and the state Department of Water Resources. The item is informational, but it signals active state interest in how large data centers will access water and what rules may apply. A vendor or adviser would watch for follow-on policy, infrastructure, or utility planning work after this meeting.

Questions about this project
What is a pre-RFP?
A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
