Imperial County asks judge to dismiss lawsuit blocking data center
IMPERIAL COUNTY, Calif. (KYMA) - Imperial County and a private developer are asking a judge to dismiss a lawsuit blocking a proposed $10 billion data center.
The lawsuit aims to stop construction of the AI data center planned for unincorporated Imperial County near Aten and Clark Roads.
In the filing, they argue the project is already permitted and that the City failed to appeal an earlier decision, making that approval final.
The developer says the project would create more than 1,600 construction jobs, generate millions in tax revenue, and provide treated water to the Salton Sea.
A hearing on the motion is set for February 10.
