Box Elder County Data Center

planned

A proposed massive data center in Box Elder County, Utah, backed by investor and TV personality Kevin O'Leary. The project has been recently approved by county commissioners but has faced major pushback due to environmental concerns, particularly regarding water usage and its impact on the Great Salt Lake. The project aims to use environmentally-sensitive cooling technology, including options like air cooling to minimize water use. The Utah Department of Natural Resources is involved to ensure water use is reported publicly and that the project does not reduce water flow to the Great Salt Lake.
