Millard County to provide letter of local support for Creekstone data center application
Summary
The commission agreed to provide a brief letter noting the county's prior land-use approvals for the Creekstone data center and local support for the project as part of the Governor's Office of Economic Opportunity review; commissioners emphasized the letter should not change zoning or imply county tax concessions.
The Millard County Commission agreed to supply a letter of local support for Creekstone's application to the Governor's Office of Economic Opportunity. Staff said the letter is a required element for the state incentive process and is meant to confirm local support rather than alter local control or zoning.
A county staffer summarized the county's earlier actions on the project: Creekstone has completed conditional-use review and other local permitting steps and planning staff are processing development permits. Commissioners stressed the letter should state those procedural milestones and emphasize the county is not ceding local zoning or tax authority. "If they are asking for permission to be placed in an energy zone, the answer is no," a commissioner said, clarifying limits on county support.
Commissioners instructed staff to draft a short support letter noting prior local approvals and to circulate it for signatures and transmission ahead of the state meeting. The meeting at the Governor's office was noted as imminent in the agenda; staff will send the letter promptly.
