Local barista, Lily Pierson, is a passionate young woman offering citizens a space to come together and discuss thoughts, feelings and concerns regarding data centers. Join her tonight at The Strand Theatre.

"The purpose of this meeting is to gauge community interest in learning about the economic and environmental impacts of data centers. Communities across the country are already experiencing these effects, and it’s important that we educate ourselves and prepare.

This is not a meeting focused only on negatives. Those who see data centers as a positive development are encouraged to attend as well.
This meeting is being organized by local residents with the goal of connecting with others in our community.

City representatives, council members, and other officials are welcome to attend and speak, but the primary focus is identifying who is interested in learning, discussing, and staying informed about issues that may affect us. We ask that all participants remain civil and respectful.

This meeting is about education and community awareness, not spreading hate or misinformation." -Lily Pierson

I was walking downtown one morning when I met Charles. What followed was nothing short of an awe-inspiring experience. He doesn't want to teach you about history, he wants you to be inspired to learn about it.

Step inside Vicksburg’s Civil War Museum, where local history and rare artifacts tell stories that inspire curiosity and discovery.

Vicksburg has always been home to me, even if I didn’t grow up here—my family’s roots run deep, and I spent part of my childhood here. I have since returned home and want to invite you to join me as I walk the streets, stop to talk, and meet the neighbors who make this city what it is.
