📰 News we're reading
• Spanish Fork leaders consider data center proposal amid community concerns (fox13now.com) — Spanish Fork officials just heard a proposal for a large data center at the old Fingerhut distribution site near Spanish Fork Canyon, drawing vocal concern from nearby homeowners about noise, emissions, and resource use. The developer says the project would generate its own 250 megawatts of power, use minimal water with closed-loop cooling, and avoid tapping the grid, but residents remain skeptical and want proof the concept works elsewhere first. 
• Prep scoreboard 8-20 (heraldextra.com) — Spanish Fork High athletes are busy this week, with volleyball sweeping Richfield 3–0 and girls soccer narrowly falling 2–1 to American Fork. Upcoming matches include Spanish Fork volleyball traveling to Wasatch and a home Region 7 girls soccer showdown against Salem Hills, giving local fans several chances to support their teams.
