The March 2 forum will take place at Heritage Hall at Edgewood High School. Doors open at 5:15 p.m., and the session will run from 6 to 8 p.m.
All attendees will be required to sign in with their name and address and indicate whether they would like to ask a question during the live portion of the meeting. At sign‑in, they must also identify the general topic of their question, according to the city.
The evening will include a welcome and overview, a project presentation, a moderated Q&A using pre‑submitted questions and then a live public question‑and‑answer session. Community members may submit questions in advance through an online questionnaire available through Feb. 26.

Only questions will be allowed during the Q&A segments—no speeches or statements. Disruptions such as shouting, personal attacks or interruptions will not be permitted. The moderator may limit speaking time or end a participant’s opportunity to speak if guidelines are not followed. Individuals who continue to disrupt the meeting after a warning may be asked to leave.
The city also noted that the March 2 forum is not a public hearing, and no formal decisions will be made regarding the project. Site plans for the proposed data center are expected to be presented at a tentative March 9 Trenton Planning Commission meeting.
