Why We've Filed a Referendum
A community-led referendum has been initiated to halt the Stratos Project Data Center in Box Elder County. Advocates argue that local residents deserve transparency and a voice in decisions that could significantly impact their community. Concerns include economic fairness, environmental sustainability, and the lack of public involvement in the decision-making process.
- ▪The referendum aims to stop the Stratos Project due to unanswered questions about its implications.
- ▪Residents are concerned about unfair tax breaks for the data center while local families face economic challenges.
- ▪There are worries about water usage as the region deals with drought, while the data center is granted water permits.
