Summary
Montana’s racing to become a data center hub, with massive facilities like Atlas Power near Butte leading the charge—but the boom’s hitting snags. Communities from Bonner to Great Falls are pushing back, demanding better regulations or even local votes before green lights go up. While state economists tout tax wins and job growth, critics question the math and real-world impact. With a final report due by September, Montanans are caught between economic promise and local concerns—watching closely to see if the digital future brings real benefits or unintended costs.
