Box Elder County delays vote on MIDA data center project, citing transparency concerns

Box Elder County officials have delayed a vote on the "Stratos" hyperscale data center project, citing a lack of transparency from the state's Military Installation Development Authority (MIDA) and developers. The decision was postponed after local officials and 80 protestors raised concerns about the project's massive scale, environmental impacts, and MIDA's unique authority. County leaders are demanding more public input and information before proceeding with the Kevin O’Leary Digital-backed development.
