Please see the attached links below regarding what economic growth in Spokane County could look like for data centers and hydrogen facilities that aren't being discussed. Also attached are some new technologies regarding PAFS issues and smarter cooling systems. #(1) Data centers' downstream employment effects are expected to add an average of 13,600 to 20,700 jobs per market, or 81,000 to 124,000 jobs in total. About 68% of those jobs are tied to the downstream supply chain, including manufacturing, trade and logistics, information and financial services, and professional and business services. https://www.globest.com/2026/08/13/six-markets-where-data-centers-are- driving-a-bigger-share-of-industrial-leasing/? oly_enc_id=9441J4896112D0D&r=9441J4896112D0D&remember_me=0 #(2) How Data Centers Are Using AI to Run Cooler and Smarter https://www.datacenterknowledge.com/data-center-software/how-data- centers-are-using-ai-to-run-cooler-and-smarter? utm_source=Sailthru&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Issue:%202026-08- 28%20Data%20Center%20Knowledge%20%5Bissue:88635%5D&utm_term=Da ta%20Center%20Knowledge #(3) How can hydrogen be used? - Pacific Northwest Hydrogen Association https://share.google/LYWIUx44pRbFv15xA #(4) PFAS removal information https://www.wateronline.com/doc/removal-of-pfas-contamination-in-horsham- township-pa-water-supply-0001? vm_tId=2871881&vm_nId=101544&user=22934574-9383-4f8c-9745- 2f97c68bdb07&gdpr=0&vm_alias=Removal%20Of%20PFAS%20Contamination %20In%20Horsham%20Township,%20PA,%20Water%20Supply&utm_source= mkt_WOL&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=WOL_08-28- 2026&utm_term=22934574-9383-4f8c-9745- 2f97c68bdb07&utm_content=Removal%20Of%20PFAS%20Contamination%20I n%20Horsham%20Township,%20PA,%20Water%20Supply&mkt_tok=MDc1LU5 WQy0wODYAAAGj5ti4XJCL12LDJAKoJPRXeJdJNBlCaw6NHLYODHRWGr- sBvgMEPlmjcrxkKLxUOnBkUjvU- VFQ8dYlvXay_2iQKquEw7wwdpzgNFmKwC0YwLj2Gw- #(5) Small Load building repurposing https://www.datacenterfrontier.com/machine- learning/article/55400127/moses-lake-moves-from-bitcoin-to-ai-and-hpc? utm_source=DCF+Newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=CPS26081 0016&o_eid=9658C9552089F5D&rdx.ident[pull]=omeda|9658C9552089F5D&ol y_enc_id=9658C9552089F5D #(6) Noise: See link attached below Respectfully Submitted John J.
