Finney County Economic Development Corporation President/CEO Lona DuVall spoke about data centers during her FCEDC update at the Finney County Commission meeting on Monday.

The FCEDC first contact regarding data centers was in November 2024, when the Lone Bison project and TED Renewables reached out and said they were looking at doing a project, but had not secured leases or anything else yet. They came out and met with Finney County Commissioners in January 2025, DuVall said. It was just preliminary information, giving them a general idea of the area they’re looking at, what size they hoped to be able to build but no other specifics. “They didn’t apply for a permit; they weren’t in a position to do that,” she said. “We didn’t get into any further discussion with them until the new process documents had been designed for those energy systems.”
