A petition has been started by local residents asking Lyon County to ensure responsible planning as large-scale industrial development continues in our area.

This is not about stopping growth.
It is about making sure growth is responsible, transparent, and sustainable for our community.

 
🌵 What we’re asking for:
We are requesting that Lyon County Commissioners ensure:

• A full review of water availability and long-term sustainability
• A review of power grid and infrastructure capacity
• Clear limits to protect residents from long-term resource strain
• Developers, not residents, covering infrastructure costs
• Full transparency on upcoming approvals affecting Silver Springs

 
💬 Why this matters:
Silver Springs is a rural community with limited water and infrastructure capacity.
Once large-scale development is approved, the impacts are long-term and not easily reversed.

We support responsible growth—but we also believe decisions of this scale deserve public transparency and careful planning.

We demand the decision to approve these Data centers be paused. This decision cannot be taken lightly, as it could forever alter our water resources, air quality and well-being of local communities.
