STRATOS DATA CENTER SHRINKS: Businessman Kevin O'Leary has agreed to significant changes to a proposed data center development near the Great Salt Lake after Utah Senate President Stuart Adams demanded stronger protections for water, wildlife and transparency. In a letter dated June 4, O'Leary said he would accept all of the conditions outlined by Adams, including reducing the project's footprint, dedicating excess water to the Great Salt Lake and creating a public website to track the project's review process. The proposed development has drawn criticism from residents and environmental advocates concerned about its potential impact on water supplies, wildlife habitat and the lake's fragile ecosystem. Adams called O'Leary's response "a positive step forward" and said public concerns helped drive the changes. "The concerns raised by Utahns are valid, which is why I have pushed for meaningful changes to ensure those issues are addressed before any project can move forward," Adams said. According to Adams, the revised proposal would reduce the effective size of the project area by 75% and, for the first time, include a commitment to provide water to the Great Salt Lake. O'Leary also agreed to work with the Utah Department of Natural Resources on protections for wildlife habitat, agriculture and open space. Adams said thousands of acres would be preserved for those purposes.

A land development company purchased an 1,100 acre tract right next to my land. They did it quietly ‘18 under a pseudo LLC name & picked up all 1,100 acres for $600K at the courthouse steps. Sat on it 8 yrs. Ton of heavy equipment just showed up. D9’s, 315’s, etc so I rode down on my side by side & chatted with the foreman. They’re breaking it up into fifty 20 acre parcels and selling them off as “luxury home site builds”. Will probably fetch $150-$200K per tract. Turned $600K into $5-$10 million in 8 yrs. Not sure if I’m happy or sad about this. Kind of like my peaceful “no one around” area.
