Utah-Based Developer Advances Next-Generation Data Campus Built on Community Trust, Environmental Stewardship, and Local Social Impact
Pronghorn Development LLC, a Utah-headquartered infrastructure firm, announced today it secured a conditional use permit (CUP) from local officials to construct the 1.5 GW Antelope Data Campus in Iron County. The milestone permit marks the formal launch of a state-of-the-art facility designed to bridge world-class technological infrastructure with local economic resilience and sustainable development practices.
The Antelope Data Campus represents a landmark investment in the region’s long-term future, introducing high-value technical infrastructure while diversifying and strengthening the local economy. With two decades of experience building clean energy infrastructure in Iron County, Pronghorn Development’s team leverages its specialized regional knowledge to design a project that will yield billions of dollars in total economic impact for Iron County communities. Details of the project, including a two-minute overview video, are available at antelopecampus.info.
Unlike infrastructure projects driven from afar, the advancement of the Antelope Data Campus has been characterized by months of steady and personal, local outreach. For the past year, representatives from Pronghorn Development have worked closely with residents, adjacent landowners, agricultural partners, natural resource stewards, and community leaders. This broad, deliberate approach ensured that individual perspectives and neighbor concerns directly informed the project’s operational guidelines and plans.
“True progress is measured by the strength of the relationships that made this milestone possible. Securing this permit validates the trust we’ve built with our neighbors in Iron County. We are incredibly grateful for the open dialogue and collaborative spirit that has shaped the Antelope Data Campus. Moving forward, we remain committed to listening to the community, acting as responsible environmental stewards, and driving economic prosperity here for decades to come,” said Scott Cuthbertson, Pronghorn Development LLC spokesperson.
Guided by its foundational principles of community, environment, and social impact, Pronghorn Development will implement stringent environmental safeguards to deliver outsized regional economic benefits. The multi-phase development is projected to be a powerful engine for local job creation and economic impact. Specifically, forecasts show thousands of construction jobs, hundreds of long-term, permanent jobs, and hundreds of millions of dollars in tax revenue for Iron County.
By integrating proven water-efficient technology and sustainable design features aligned with the natural preservation of the Iron County ecosystem, the Antelope Data Campus is an example of responsible modern high-tech development. With the conditional use permit officially secured, Pronghorn Development is poised to break ground and begin turning this shared vision of sustainable, community-first technological advancement into a reality for Iron County.
