Utah has an ‘obligation’ to allow the building of massive data centers, Gov. Cox says

Utah Governor Spencer Cox, speaking at a monthly news conference in Salt Lake City, expressed strong frustration over the prolonged timelines for development projects in the United States. He specifically emphasized Utah's "obligation" to permit the construction of large-scale data centers. Gov. Cox criticized the bureaucratic delays, stating, "I’m so tired of our country taking years to get stuff done. It’s the dumbest thing ever." His remarks signal a state-level push to streamline processes and encourage infrastructure development, particularly for data centers, by reducing what he perceives as unnecessary impediments.
