Townsite Solar Two

Federal approval renews debate over proposed data center near Boulder City

Federal approval of a right-of-way grant for Townsite Solar Two's data center near Boulder City, Nevada, has reignited local opposition, despite the developer having withdrawn a separate application for city land. Residents and city officials plan to appeal the Bureau of Land Management's decision, citing concerns over the project's impact and the adequacy of the environmental assessment. Separately, Nye County commissioners are considering a ban on data centers in Pahrump.
