From the meeting
The Board heard a new appeal tied to DEQ's final decision to issue Montana Air Quality Permit No. 5537-00 for the proposed NYDIG DFM Data Center in Richland County. Kevin and Karen Boehler filed the appeal, and DEQ responded with a motion to dismiss for lack of subject matter jurisdiction that was not fully briefed.
The project is not a procurement, but it confirms a specific data center build that could drive future power, cooling, and permitting work.
