Federal judge halts data center construction on public land
Reported byNevada Current ↗·Sourced by Goodlede
A federal administrative court temporarily revoked authorization for the Townsite Data Center on public land in Nevada after the Center for Biological Diversity and Boulder City challenged the Bureau of Land Management's approval, which had relied on an outdated environmental analysis for a solar plant rather than studying the data center project itself.
The order is temporary; the Interior Board of Appeals will consider the full legal challenge, with BLM required to respond by September 21.
