Box Elder County Commission to vote on moratorium on new data centers

The Box Elder County Commission in Utah is scheduled to vote on a proposed 180-day temporary land-use regulation concerning data centers. This regulation, if approved, would halt the acceptance and processing of new development applications for data center power plants and data centers within the county. County officials expect the commission to proceed with the vote, indicating a proactive stance on managing data center development. The measure aims to temporarily pause new projects while the county potentially reviews its zoning and land-use policies related to these facilities.
