What happened
Federal land use decisions are overriding local planning decisions in Nevada. The Bureau of Land Management manages 63% of the state, which is more than any other state in the union. Washington is considering placing three new data center projects on federally owned land in Nevada.
Why it matters
The federal government owns roughly 85% of Nevada, and this land is unappropriated, meaning it is leased out or open to the public. This situation raises constitutionality concerns regarding the state's independent governing authority and local control over territory.
Nevada officials are currently weighing data center proposals and their impact on local governance in Boulder City.
