Other topics includes the power plant associated with the data center and the November general election special question asking voters in White Cloud Township if they want to implement zoning regulations.

The meeting announcement says, "These are large projects, and everyone deserves an opportunity to understand what is being proposed, ask questions, and share concerns during the moratorium period."

Spokeswoman Kim Swyers says they have asked representatives to attend the meeting from the Nodaway County county commission, the Nodaway County rural water district, the city of Maryville, South Nodaway schools, and Nodaway County economic development.

Tuesday's meeting starts at 6:30 p.m. in Graham at the Graham community building.

Bill Oliver has returned to his alma mater as News Director for KXCV/KRNW after leading award winning news operations as part of a career that has also included sports, operations, management, and sales at public and commercial radio stations in Texas, Kansas, and Nebraska.

A 1981 Northwest Missouri State University graduate, Oliver was deeply involved with KXCV and KDLX as a student, hosting music and news programs, calling sports broadcasts, and helping keep the station on the air after the 1979 Administration Building fire.

Oliver says his return is motivated by a desire to be closer to family and to give back to the university and the mentors who helped shape his broadcasting career.
