Opposition and litigation at this site

Nothing on record as of September 4, 2026. No lawsuit, organized opposition, or contested hearing over Nine Mile Data Center (Uinta Basin Data Center Project) in Myton, Duchesne County, Utah appears in the sources this registry tracks.

Notes on the record

Approximately 6 miles southwest of Myton near Wells Draw and South Myton Bench; ~475 acres for data-center use within a ~879-acre leased area; targeting operational by 2029. Subsidies checked at the municipal tier (2026-09-04): no site-level subsidy. The county's conditional-use findings report carries no tax-abatement, CRA/RDA or payment-in-lieu-of-taxes term, and no Duchesne County or Myton CRA project area was found to exist at all. Utah's EDTIF programme excludes data centres and the UCA 59-12-104 exemption is self-executing.
