Butte-Silver Bow ad hoc committee backs one-year due‑diligence extension for proposed Sabey data center; council to decide
Summary
An ad hoc committee that has been vetting a proposed Sabey data center recommended a one-year due‑diligence extension to the council while staff compile additional information on taxes, jobs, permitting and infrastructure; the council is scheduled to consider the extension at its next meeting.
Butte‑Silver Bow’s Montana Connections ad hoc committee recommended a one‑year due‑diligence extension for the proposed Sabey data center project so the county and the company can finish technical reviews and public questions ahead of a council vote.
The recommendation, discussed repeatedly during the committee’s meeting, reflects the ad hoc group’s effort to gather data on four principal topics committee members identified as decisive: power, taxes, jobs and water. Committee members said extensions of purchase‑and‑sale agreements are common and can range from six months to more than two years depending on project complexity; the Montana Connections board approved a recommended extension and will forward it to the council for consideration.
