Commission gives consent needed for MITA project area; counsel stresses consent is not a building permit
Summary
By voice vote the commission approved resolution 26‑11 consenting to inclusion of private land in the Midas Stratus project area under state law; county counsel clarified consent allows Midah to create a project area but does not authorize construction or replace state permits.
The Box Elder County Commission voted to give the consent under state law that Midah (Midas) needs to include private land in a MITA project area, allowing the developer to proceed with its project‑area formation process.
Annie Hansen (speaker 4) told the commission the agenda item for resolution 26‑11 is the formal consent required for Midah to create a Stratus project area. "This is not a resolution that allows them to build a data center," Hansen said, adding that the consent enables Midah to continue its own land‑use process and that state law requires county consent before private land is included in a MITA project area.
Commissioner Perry moved to approve the consent resolution; Commissioner Bingham seconded. The motion passed by voice vote and the commission then moved to adjourn. The transcript does not include a detailed roll‑call tally of how each commissioner voted.
