Interstate Holdings Blockchain, a cryptomining company owned by Arkansas businessman Steve Landers Jr., is considering building a new cryptomine in Vilonia, Arkansas. The town has had a bad experience with a previous company, Green Digital, suspected of having ties to the Chinese government, which left a negative impression on the community.
However, Interstate Holdings Blockchain aims to change that perception by assuring residents that their cryptomine will be quieter, environmentally friendly, and compliant with regulations. The company has been in communication with city officials and plans to donate to the local school to build goodwill in the community.
Despite these efforts, locals remain skeptical and have raised concerns about noise, energy consumption, and environmental impact. Residents have expressed their worries to city officials and plan to voice their opinions at a Planning Commission meeting where the cryptomine will be the main agenda item.
Benjamin Smith, president of the Arkansas Blockchain Council, will speak on behalf of Interstate Holdings Blockchain at the meeting to address any concerns and provide additional information to reassure the community.
Overall, Interstate Holdings Blockchain is hopeful that they can convince the residents of Vilonia that their cryptomine will be a responsible and beneficial addition to the town.
