Box Elder County Commissioners talk about controversial data center project - full news conference

The Box Elder County commissioners held a press conference minutes after a contentious public meeting where they approved a massive data center project. The three-member Box Elder County Commission voted unanimously Monday to approve the massive energy and data campus backed by Utah’s Military Installation Development Authority and celebrity investor Kevin O’Leary. MIDA approved the project late last month. The commission’s vote allows MIDA to create the project area — which is mostly made up of privately owned, unincorporated land within the county — where it can offer an array of incentives to the developer.
