Transplant's Guide to the Twin Cities and How Data Centers Could Affect Us

We love our transplants here in Minnesota (even if we won't invite you to our cabin). Here’s everything we forgot to tell you about Minnesota, from why we refuse to eat the last bite to why we don’t dance at concerts. Plus, we’ll hear some heartwarming stories from real life transplants. Also, if you don’t know what the heck a data center is and why there’s so much controversy, join the club. Professors Elise Harrington and James Coleman from the University of Minnesota will share what you need to know if a tech company comes a’knockin to town.
