What could the Stratos data center project in Box Elder County look like? Utahns now have an idea.

Renderings on O’Leary Digital’s website show buildings featuring huge panes of glass with reflections of the mountain landscape. Celebrity investor Kevin O’Leary’s venture company is the lead developer behind the project.
