怀俄明州夏延市微软数据中心征地请愿失败 兼并案维持有效
位于怀俄明州拉勒米县的夏延市，市书记官办公室确认，一项旨在挑战夏延市外土地兼并案的请愿未能达到强制举行公投所需的门槛，兼并案维持有效。这块土地位于夏延市外，兼并后将用于建设微软数据中心项目。
请愿方希望通过公投推翻市议会的兼并决定，但收集到的有效签名数量未达标，无法启动公投程序。随着请愿失败，微软数据中心项目的土地兼并程序得以继续推进。
数据中心项目是夏延市近年来最受关注的开发项目之一，支持者认为项目将为当地带来投资与就业，反对者则关注其对土地、水电资源与社区的影响。
市书记官办公室的确认意味着该项目在程序上扫清了一道障碍，下一步将按既定流程推进建设审批。
Petition Against Cheyenne Annexation for Microsoft Data Center Fails; Annexation Stands
In Cheyenne, Laramie County, Wyoming, the City Clerk's office has confirmed that a petition challenging the annexation of land outside the city failed to reach the threshold needed to force a referendum, and the annexation remains in effect. The land, outside Cheyenne, is to be used for a Microsoft data center project after annexation.
Petitioners had hoped to overturn the City Council's annexation decision by referendum, but the number of valid signatures collected fell short, so no referendum can be triggered. With the petition's failure, the land annexation for the Microsoft data center project can move forward.
The data center is one of Cheyenne's most closely watched development projects in recent years. Supporters say it will bring investment and jobs, while opponents focus on its effects on land, water and power resources and the community.
The clerk's confirmation clears one procedural hurdle for the project, which will now proceed through the established construction approval process.
