⚖️ Court case · Uinta County
Residents asked the district court to review and cancel the county's permits for the Prometheus data center. They said there were secret meetings and conflicts of interest, and that a water study was needed. The county denied this. A judge dismissed the case on Aug. 17, 2026, so the permits stand.
✅ Approved · Uinta County
County commissioners unanimously granted a conditional use permit for Prometheus Hyperscale's 1.25-gigawatt data center on about 506 acres east of Evanston. The permit has about 30 conditions, including dust and noise limits, closed-loop cooling, and protecting local electric rates.
