Henderson City Council decided not to adopt a proposed 180-day pause on data centers. Instead it told city staff to write tougher rules: any future data center would need its own negotiated contract with the city (a development agreement) covering water, power, noise, heat and distance from homes. The city said no data center applications were on file.

⚖️ Court case · Boulder City

Boulder City Council voted unanimously to appeal the federal Bureau of Land Management's approval of the Townsite Solar 2 data center on BLM land and to ask for a stay. The city says the BLM skipped required steps. In early September 2026 an administrative judge granted the stay, so the project is paused for now.

🗳️ Public vote · Boulder City

Boulder City Council put a question on the November 3, 2026 ballot: should data centers be an allowed land use in the Eldorado Valley Transfer Area (outside the habitat conservation easement)? The city charter requires voters to approve new uses there. A yes vote would allow, but not require, the council to approve data centers. A separate citizen petition for a data center initiative fell short of signatures.
