County affirms desire for local control, plans outreach if data centers proposed
Summary
Commission staff reported on data center tours and told the Commission that Beaver County "does want local control as it considers Data Centers in our County," and said the county would hold public outreach events if a data center proposal emerges.
Commission Coordinator Matt Sterzer briefed the Commission on recent tours of data centers in Utah and emphasized the county's interest in retaining local control over siting and permitting decisions. Sterzer told the Board, "Beaver County does want local control as it considers Data Centers in our County," and said the county plans public outreach events should a data center be proposed locally.
The minutes indicate this was an informational discussion; no ordinance or formal direction was recorded. The record shows the county is proactively preparing outreach and stated interest in local permitting authority rather than deferment to external entities.
