Box Elder voters file referendum to halt hyperscale data center plan

Box Elder County voters filed a land-use referendum to potentially overturn the county commission’s unanimous decision to include private land in a Military Installation Development Authority hyperscale data center project. The legality is being reviewed by the county attorney; if permitted, the referendum would require signatures from about 16% of active registered voters (roughly 5,422) across the county to appear on the ballot.

Utah's Box Elder County weighs final approval for a massive hyperscale data center deal

Box Elder County Commission weighs approving a large hyperscale data center and energy project led by O’Leary Digital, with public comment barred at the meeting while two forthcoming town halls are planned.

Critics question environmental and community impacts, while supporters tout economic benefits.
