AI Data Center Backlash: Utah’s hyperscale buildout is colliding with politics and climate fears again, as new reporting and scientist calculations target the Stratos project in Box Elder County—approved with little public input—over claims of massive power demand and heat impacts that could worsen local conditions. Local Development Momentum: While the data-center fight heats up, Salt Lake City’s Granary District keeps moving—new hospitality anchors are lined up for Silo Park, and Temple Square’s renovated visitors’ center is now open to the public. Fintech in Apps: Galileo research finds brands are racing to add in-app financial tools, but customers may switch if payments, refunds, and rewards don’t work smoothly. Business & Biotech: Altitude Lab says its Salt Lake biotech accelerator portfolio has topped $205M in early-stage funding, and Polargy expands manufacturing capacity after acquiring Forge. Utah Energy Shift: Distributed solar and storage are gaining ground, but utilities are pushing back—setting up another policy showdown.
