What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The Oracle AI data center campus in Doña Ana County is 26% complete, an increase from 17% reported in July of this year, according to company executives. The New Mexico Supreme Court has lifted stays that had previously frozen the air-quality and emergency water-withdrawal permit hearings, allowing the state environment department to resume the review processes. However, the dedicated pipeline project is facing delays until February 2027 due to the state rejecting two proposed routes across trust lands.
