Proposed Natural Gas Power Plant and Data Center in Norton

planned

The Norton City Council is discussing a proposed project involving the construction of a natural gas power plant and a data center. The project has raised community concerns about environmental impacts, noise pollution, safety of local infrastructure, transportation logistics of liquid natural gas, air pollution, carbon capture adequacy, and water consumption affecting local water sources. The council is in ongoing negotiations with the developer and has not yet approved the project. A planning commission meeting is the next step for further discussions.
