Data center visit reinforces support among some Butte commissioners, yet questions linger

Butte-Silver Bow commissioners visited a Sabey Data Center in Quincy, Washington, to inform their decision on a proposed $1 billion data center in Butte, Montana. While many found the visit reassuring regarding noise and water use, questions remain about development plans, tax revenues, utility rates, and public engagement. A final vote on the development agreement with Sabey Data Centers is pending.
