How feds swapped a solar farm for a data center outside Boulder City

Boulder City leaders and residents are opposing a data center project approved by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). The city council has voted to appeal the BLM's decision, which approved the data center by reusing an environmental review originally written for a solar facility on the same plot of land. This has sparked concerns about the precedent set by the BLM's land use approval process.
