Data Center Considered For Jerome And Lincoln Desert Area

Twin Falls, ID, October 27, 2026 —
A data center is being considered for the Jerome and Lincoln desert area, a location where the Lava Ridge project had previously stalled. The available information does not identify who is considering the data center or describe the stage of the proposal.
The relationship between the data center consideration and the earlier Lava Ridge project is also unclear. The site is described as a place where that project had stalled, but no reason for the delay or halt was provided. There is no information indicating whether the data center proposal is connected to Lava Ridge or represents a separate effort.
Details about the data center itself—including its size, intended use, possible construction schedule and estimated cost—were not provided. The available summary also does not say whether a formal application has been filed, whether any approvals are being sought, or whether officials or community members have responded.
For now, the reported development is limited to the possibility that a data center is under consideration in the named desert area. No decision to proceed was described, and no next steps or timeline were provided. Further information would be needed to clarify the proposal’s sponsors, status and connection, if any, to the stalled Lava Ridge project.
