Utah County is writing rules that would allow data centers in its Mining and Grazing (M&G-1) and Industrial (I-1) zones and add a new Data Center Overlay zone with standards. The county planning commission held a hearing on Sept 15, 2026 and will discuss it again in October. Drafts call for two public meetings before an application and postcards to homes within one mile.
