Data Center Pause in Bonner County | Bozeman News

A proposed data center in Bonner, Idaho, has hit a major snag after the property owner withdrew support, effectively killing the project. The county is now considering a one-year moratorium on new and expanding data centers to update outdated regulations — last revised in 2021 — that were designed for crypto mines, not modern AI-driven data centers. Concerns over water, air, heat, and noise pollution, raised by the public during review, are driving the push for updated rules. Commissioners plan to vote on the pause this Thursday, with early feedback suggesting strong public interest in responsible development.
