Hundreds of Utahns file to block Kevin O’Leary’s proposed massive data center campus over water concerns

Hundreds of Utah residents have formally protested a proposed large-scale data center campus in Brigham City, spearheaded by investor Kevin O'Leary, primarily citing grave concerns over water usage. The opposition intensified after a public gathering in Brigham City where a crowd demonstrated against a potential vote that could pave the way for the development. Subsequently, the Utah Division of Water Rights was inundated with numerous written objections, reflecting widespread community apprehension about the project's impact on local water resources, especially in the Hansel Valley area where the campus is planned. The article highlights an ongoing dispute between the developer's ambitions and local environmental and community interests.
