Who is behind it
The record, newest first
The Deseret News reported that the appeal was still pending. (Deseret News, Oct. 10, 2026)
The Juab County Commission agenda, at a meeting held in Mona, listed an item on the Nebo North LLC data center. (Juab County Commission (Utah Public Notice Website), Sept. 21, 2026)
The resident group Mona Cares filed an appeal asking Juab County commissioners to overturn the CUP and restart approval with adequate notice. The filing came after the 30-day appeal window; the group argues the clock should run from when minutes were posted in late August. (KSL.com, Sept. 15, 2026; The Salt Lake Tribune, Sept. 16, 2026)
The Tribune reported up to 10 buildings of about 300,000 sq ft each on about 361 acres, up to 750 MW from Rocky Mountain Power, and that Nebo North is in PacifiCorp's first large-load cluster study under SB132. (The Salt Lake Tribune, Sept. 14, 2026)
At a county commission meeting, Mona residents said they had not been notified. Commissioner Clinton Painter apologized for the lack of notice, said the county followed state notice rules, and said commissioners would ask whether the permit could be revisited. (KSL.com, Sept. 8, 2026; ABC4 Utah, Sept. 8, 2026)
The Juab County Planning Commission approved the CUP after a public hearing of about four minutes at which no one spoke against it. (The Salt Lake Tribune, Sept. 14, 2026; Deseret News, Sept. 8, 2026)
Juab County gave notice of an Apr. 15 hearing on Nebo North LLC's data center campus CUP in Secs. 13-14, T11S R1W. (Juab County, April 2, 2026)
Conflicts and open questions
- Coordinates are approximate, from the PLSS sections in the county notice (Secs. 13-14 T11S R1W).
- The Deseret News says Williams sought to run a gas pipeline to supply a new gas plant for the site. The permit also allows on-site gas generation (Tribune).
- The Deseret News (Oct. 10) says the permit came from Mona's planning and zoning commission, while the county notice and other outlets say the Juab County Planning Commission. The county record is used.
- The outcome of the Sept. 21 commission item was not found; no later commission agenda with the item was found (Oct. 5 agenda checked).
- 'Project Nebo' (former aka) was not found in any opened source and was removed.
- Residents and landowners are named in coverage but left out here. See legal_risk.
