What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Imperial County supervisors are debating a proposed ban on data center projects on unincorporated county land. Supervisors Jesus Eduardo Escobar and Martha Cardenas-Singh support putting the decision to voters via a ballot measure. This follows a period where the county initially approved a large data center project but later imposed a temporary freeze due to community opposition.
