Volition data center project to relocate from Spanish Fork Canyon after resident concerns
The Spanish Fork City Council had approved Volition's data center proposal at Spanish Fork Canyon. However, following resident concerns, Volition decided to relocate the project to a new site near Utah Lake, preventing its construction at the canyon mouth.
The Salt Lake Tribune reported that a proposed data center by Volition will not be built at the mouth of Spanish Fork Canyon in Utah County. This decision follows significant community opposition and concerns voiced by local residents. Although the Spanish Fork City Council had recently approved the data center proposal, Volition has opted to relocate the project to a new warehouse site near Utah Lake.
The move aims to alleviate the anxiety among residents who had opposed the original canyon location, effectively blocking the project from that specific site due to public pressure.
