The Juab County Commission in Utah recently approved a large data center campus near Mona, a decision made despite significant opposition from local residents. The proposed facility is expected to be one of Utah's largest, demanding up to 750 megawatts of power from Rocky Mountain Power's grid.

During a Juab County Commission meeting on September 8, 2026, held at Rocky Ridge Town Hall, residents voiced their concerns. Taylor Flake, whose home is situated directly across from the proposed site, spoke out against the development, highlighting that neighbors felt "in the dark" regarding the project's details and approval process.
