| | Data Center Referendum Petitions | A group of Box Elder County residents want to force a referendum on the county commission’s vote to allow a 40,000 acre data center in Utah. If the referendum petitions are approved, residents must then gather a certain number of signatures in order to force a public vote on the commission’s decision. [KUTV] | | Utah Jazz Get No. 2 Draft Pick | Thanks to questionable “tanking” practices and a lucky lottery win, Utah Jazz basketball will get the No. 2 overall pick in this year’s NBA draft in June.

[Building Salt Lake 🔒] | Local Stories Worth Celebrating | We assembled a few local headlines worth celebrating today, like fires that could help save the Great Salt Lake. [City Cast Salt Lake 🎧] |

The countdown to the Kilby Block Party has begun. If you’re looking to kick off your music week early (like me), might I suggest taking the “Highroad” and checking out Sir Woman at the State Room on Wednesday? |
