Mission Statement

Finding Inspiration in Every Turn

The purpose of the corporation is to provide education of AI Data Centers, their impact on our community, stop the annexation of land from Vienna, and stop the construction of the QTS AI Data Center in our community.

Our Story

Most of us met during the Vienna Board meeting that was canceled. During those discussions a some we had online with other residents, class mates, and other communities, we came to the conclusion that we needed to get the ball rolling to stop this data center project.

We have collaborated a team, which is always growing, to combat this issue as a joined front. People in this committee should be the power driving this decision, and the surrounding areas are there to help!

Meet The Team

Rhonda Meinholz

President

I am a life long resident of the DeForest area. I have lived in the Town of Vienna for 24 years and prior to that lived in what is now the Village of Windsor. I have a strong passion for preserving agriculture. I grew up on a farm and am still highly engaged in farming today because of my jobs at Compeer Financial and World Dairy Expo. I have concerns about any and all large scale development projects that could impact our environment. I was successful five years ago in thwarting the 2000-acre solar panel project that was proposed from Invenergy in the Town of Vienna. Farmland is one of Wisconsin's most precious resources and we need to keep it that way.

I have lived in the area for over 45 years. If you were at the Vienna Canceled Meeting, the first big event at the Vienna Board Meeting, or the DeForest Board Meeting on Nov 5th, you definitely saw me and heard me speak. I am on your side!

Communications

I have lived in the Town of Vienna for 38 years, directly across the road from where this project will be located. I was on the Vienna Town Board from 2005-2009 and was the clerk from 2011-2016. My goal is to keep the Data Center from being built here. In addition to the huge draw on power that will increase everyone's rates, it will create storm water issues, noise, aire quality, and possibly water issues. This is not the place for a data center.
