I'm in Oregon. Morrow country is sparsely populated and they didn't think anyone would notice... But there's also mining and agricultural pollution nearby. I'm sure the data center lawyers will make that argument.

Some Municipalities are easily bought off. Look at Bartow County, GA. One county commissioner. One. No controls on growth at all. Approving projects with no infrastructure in place. Designating farmland and WMA for sale to highest bidders.
