Iron County to discuss new rules for data centers, large industrial projects

Iron County, Utah, is considering a new ordinance to establish a Strategic Development Zone, granting commissioners more control over approving data centers and large industrial projects. This move is a direct response to public opposition and debate surrounding previous data center developments, including Project Antelope. The county has also enacted a 180-day moratorium on new data center applications while these new regulations are reviewed.
