LAS VEGAS (FOX5) — The city of Boulder City announced that the developers of a proposed data center will be postponing their application to next month.
In a Facebook post shared Wednesday, city officials shared that the Townsite Solar 2 team will hold off on their Land Management Process application. The item was initially scheduled to be heard at the Planning Commission meeting on April 15, but will now be heard on May 20.
The TS2 developers also shared that they plan to host another open house in the coming weeks to share updates and respond to more questions from residents.

This news comes amid continuing efforts by Boulder City residents to push back on the project, including staging protests outside the desert site for the center and circulating a petition with over 2,000 signatures.
On Tuesday, the developer held its first public meeting about the project to highlight the potential economic benefits of the center. The project is estimated to bring in $2.6 million in the first year, and $1.5 million each year after that, along side hundreds of jobs.
“We’re going to listen, and we’re going to adapt and try to make this project the best data center in the entire country,” said Richard Lammers, manager of development for Skylar Opportunities, owner of the Townsite Solar 2 project.
However, residents still emerged from the meeting skeptical about how the center might affect things like energy prices, water usage, and its heat footprint.
“I think they’re making a very misleading case, which is their job. I mean, they’re salesmen. They’re here to make a push for representing a company,” George Rhee, a resident, told FOX5. “I just don’t buy it from a climate change perspective, these things are a disaster.”
