A proposed ordinance for data centers in Utah County is on the table. It lays out a comprehensive set of protections and requirements to balance community interests with private property rights.

Key elements included in the proposal:
Public input: public comment, two public meetings, and an updated website
Outreach: postcards mailed to neighbors
Transparency: disclosures to elected officials
Environmental safeguards: energy, noise, light, and water provisions
Location safeguards: required distances from neighborhoods and residences
Open invitation: if we’ve missed something, please let us know

Purpose: to protect our community while allowing legitimate private investment to occur. If you want to be heard, read the ordinance on the official page and share your thoughts in the comments, or attend the upcoming meetings. Your input matters.

Big day in Utah County! the brand-new Intermountain Health Cancer Center in Saratoga Springs opens its doors to bring radiation and chemotherapy closer to home.

It's a big deal because it brings health care closer to residents of Utah County. Communities like Fairfield, Cedar Valley, Eagle Mountain, Saratoga and West Lehi will gain closer access. This brings it right to their neighborhood.

The Refuge Utah whose mission is to empower survivors of sexual assault and domestic violence is expanding!

Phase one is a new 34,000 square foot shelter consisting of 48 rooms with 138 beds. The design would allow maximum flexibility in serving survivors and their families with flexible room layouts and accommodations for larger families.

Phase 2 is a comprehensive 12,000 square foot advocacy and service center with rooms for open meetings, private meetings, therapy and office space will serve as a crucial hub for victims and their children to access the resources, counseling and support they need. A children's facility will also be on site.

Phase three will consist of 12 units of transitional housing on site and an additional four units off site for families and individuals who have been affected by domestic violence needing additional support and housing. Families would be supported while in this housing for up to 24 months.

Exciting day in Utah County!

This is the first time a vital mental health service for kids newborn to 6 years old is right here in our community, thanks to The Children's Center Utah. Before today, families had to drive up to Salt Lake County to access this care, now it’s in your neighborhood.

If you’re in the south, we’ve cut your trip in half; if you’re in the north, it’s right here nearby. As our population grows, access to mental and physical health care becomes even more important.

When it comes to Data Centers...Utah County is being proactive in order to protect our citizens. Here is a list of what we're doing.

• The public-policy debate around data centers is important. Rather than wait for another major proposal, Utah County is being proactive and working to establish guard rails and clear policy now.

• The Commission directed our Community Development Division to develop a comprehensive ordinance addressing water, power, noise, heat, environmental impacts, as well as public outreach.

• Public involvement has been an important part of this process. We want meaningful public notice and opportunities for residents to participate when these projects are considered and we have built this into the current ordinance.

• The goal is to protect residents, not give the industry a blank check. This ordinance is intended to put strong, lasting standards in place before future projects arrive, so everyone understands the expectations from the beginning.

• We will not shut down the policy discussion before it has taken place. There are legitimate concerns and potential benefits that deserve to be examined through an open, fact-based public process.

• Being proactive is the responsible approach. These issues are not going away, and thoughtful policy now puts Utah County in a stronger position when future proposals come forward.
