Wyoming Governor's Executive Order Supports Data Center Growth Amid Regional Hesitations
Wyoming Governor Mark Gordon has signed an executive order to facilitate the development of data centers in the state, promoting what he calls the 'Wyoming Way.' This initiative comes as other regions, including Denver, have imposed moratoriums on data center development due to environmental and community concerns. The order encourages data centers to cover energy costs, create jobs, and protect local resources. While the order itself does not change existing policies, it directs state agencies to propose legislative actions within 60 days. The move is part of a broader effort to position Wyoming as a leader in supporting the digital economy.
