• County considers data center boundaries and safeguards (thedesertreview.com) — Imperial County supervisors are weighing new rules and a possible moratorium on AI-related data centers that could directly affect Calipatria residents and the wider Imperial Valley. After hearing strong public concerns about health, noise, and siting near communities, the board delayed a decision until June 16, when it will consider stricter land-use changes and an urgency moratorium ordinance.
