Local votes and rules
✅ Approved
The county planning commission approved a conditional use permit for Nebo North LLC ('Project Nebo') to build a data center campus of about 3 million sq ft on county land just outside Mona. The public hearing lasted about four minutes and no residents came. Neighbors only learned of it months later. In September 2026 more than 100 residents protested at a county commission meeting; the commission chair said undoing the permit could bring costly lawsuits.
