Developer Imperial Valley Computer Manufacturing wants to build what it calls California's largest data center, close to 1 million square feet, on farmland next to homes in the city of Imperial. The company sued Imperial County over its moratorium, and on October 6, 2026 an Imperial County Superior Court judge ordered the county to repeal its two prior moratorium ordinances for failing to show data centers posed a current and immediate threat to public health or safety; the county immediately adopted a new 45-day moratorium the same day, and the developer's separate lawsuit against the Imperial Irrigation District over Colorado River water rights and the city of Imperial's challenge to the project's environmental review both remain pending. The fight has become a local political flashpoint, with two county supervisors pushing for a special election so voters can decide whether to ban data centers on unincorporated land, and a recall petition against board chairwoman Peggy Price cleared for signature gathering in October 2026.
