Data center unanimously approved by Box Elder County Commission

The Box Elder County Commission in Utah has unanimously approved plans for a new data center. The decision was met with significant public disapproval during last night's meeting, where commissioners were reportedly booed and jeered. Following the vocal backlash, the three commissioners opted to complete the remainder of the meeting virtually. Commissioner Lee Perry acknowledged that many residents would be unhappy with the vote but also noted that many others supported the decision.
