Union County Board Meeting 06.26.2026

The Union County Board meeting held on June 26, 2026, primarily covered routine administrative matters including approval of previous meeting minutes and public comments. A significant discussion focused on a potential data center development at the old Grand Cay power plant site, involving a company interested in building a self-sufficient data center with its own power plant and water treatment facilities. This project could bring jobs and increase the property tax base, benefiting local school districts and the county. The board also approved building permits and appointed a new commissioner to the Alpha Pass Water District. Salary resolutions for the sheriff and public defender were tabled pending receipt of a cost-of-living adjustment letter. No direct contract awards or procurement decisions were made during this meeting, but the data center discussion indicated potential future infrastructure and economic development opportunities.
