📰 News we're reading

1. Understanding the Proposed Pahrump Data Center: The Water Question (pvc.news) — A large data center is being proposed near Pahrump’s southern entrance, and this first installment digs into whether its cooling system can truly operate with virtually no ongoing water use. Longtime resident-turned-consultant Russ Meads explains why he shifted from opposing the project to supporting it, arguing the air‑cooled design could use far less water than the thousands of homes already approved for the same property.
   

2. Nye County proposes floodwall to protect Pahrump government buildings (prismnews.com) — Nye County is proposing a 1,102-foot concrete floodwall and new drainage to shield Pahrump’s Courts Complex, IT Building and county jail from recurring flood damage. The project, now in FEMA’s Hazard Mitigation Grant review process, aims to keep essential services running during future storms by moving water safely away from these critical facilities and testing the county’s broader flood-control strategy.
   

3. Aztecs Rally to Capture Southern Nevada Legion Silver Championship (pvc.news) — Pahrump’s Aztecs Silver 17U baseball team just capped a standout summer by winning the Southern Nevada American Legion Silver Division Championship with a 10-0 mercy-rule victory. Coaches say the title reflects months of development, with roughly 60 games—most of them in Pahrump—helping deepen the Pahrump Valley High School baseball program heading into the new school year.
   

4. Nye County explains officiant permits and wedding paperwork timeline (prismnews.com) — Planning a wedding in or around Pahrump?
