<p class="wp-block-paragraph">According to a report from&nbsp;<a href="https://www.sltrib.com/news/2026/04/25/hyperscale-data-center-may-be/">The Salt Lake Tribune</a>, celebrity investor Kevin O’Leary’s company is on the verge of securing final approvals for a sprawling hyperscale data center development in Box Elder County that could rival the state’s entire electricity consumption.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Military Installation Development Authority (MIDA) board approved key resolutions on Friday to propel the multibillion-dollar project forward, offering expedited processes and significantly reduced tax rates to attract major tech clients. The Box Elder County Commission is set to vote on the deal as early as Monday morning after postponing a Friday session.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">O’Leary, known as “Mr. Wonderful” from the reality show&nbsp;<em>Shark Tank</em>&nbsp;and a Canadian businessman whose firm O’Leary Digital is leading the effort, expressed amazement at Utah’s rapid pace.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“I heard about this opportunity just five months ago,” he said during a video appearance at the MIDA meeting. “No one has pulled this off this fast, ever. The state gets it, the leadership gets it, and the ability to execute like this is extraordinary.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The project, spanning roughly 40,000 acres of privately owned land in unincorporated Box Elder County—where all landowners have consented—plus 1,200 acres involving the Utah Test and Training Range and state trust land, aims to generate its own power entirely through a connection to the Ruby Pipeline natural gas system. Proponents say it will not draw from the existing grid and could eventually feed excess power back into it.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Initial phases are projected to demand about 3 gigawatts, approaching Utah’s statewide average usage of roughly 4 gigawatts, with full buildout potentially reaching 9 gigawatts—more than double current state consumption.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It promises around 2,000 permanent high-paying jobs in the rural area, alongside substantial revenue: an estimated $30 million annually for Box Elder County in early stages, scaling to over $100 million at capacity.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">MIDA Executive Director Paul Morris highlighted competitive tax incentives, including slashing an energy use tax to 0.5% and directing 80% of certain property tax revenues back to the developer to “lure the hyperscalers”—giants like Amazon, Microsoft, and Google. “We want to make sure we don’t strangle the goose that lays the golden egg,” Morris told the board.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Supporters also point to environmental features, such as advanced water recycling technology that cleans and returns water to an aquifer feeding the Great Salt Lake, claiming minimal net usage and potential benefits compared to traditional ranching. Funds would support modernization at Hill Air Force Base and broader military infrastructure.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">O’Leary has framed the initiative as critical for U.S. technological competitiveness against China. County officials, who only recently learned details, plan public input before deciding. The development underscores Utah’s aggressive push to capitalize on the AI-driven data center boom.</p>

<p dir="ltr">In an email to agency staff, CDER Director Patrizia Cavazzoni, M.D., said the new council would replace the center’s separate AI-related steering committee and policy working groups and would continue its work within the federal government-wide AI Community of Practice.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Its remit will also include overseeing how AI is used within pharmaceutical R&amp;D and applications from drugmakers as well as how AI programs may be tapped internally by the agency’s product reviewers and other administrative employees.</p>
<p dir="ltr">“While multiple CDER groups have previously been involved in AI initiatives spanning policy, regulatory, and technology efforts, the changing external and federal environments for AI have brought new governance needs,” Cavazzoni wrote in the email.</p>

<p dir="ltr">“The advent of novel AI applications, such as generative AI and large language models, is likely to expand opportunities for use of AI within CDER, including by non-technical staff. This will require increased AI education and coordination,” she said. “There has also been a rapid increase in CDER regulatory submissions incorporating AI, and the scope and impact of AI use in drug development are expanding.”</p>

<p dir="ltr">At the same time, the government announced it would launch <a href="https://www.fiercebiotech.com/medtech/us-government-launch-ai-safety-institute-develop-standards-biotech-rd" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">the AI Safety Institute</a>, tasked with developing standards and technical guidance for biotech R&amp;D and regulatory rulemaking, under the National Institute of Standards and Technology.</p>

<p dir="ltr">Cavazzoni said the new council “will soon conduct an inventory of all CDER AI projects, expand tracking of AI efforts in CDER, and establish a centralized process through which offices will be required to seek consultation and support for deployment of all future AI projects” while aiming to offer a consistent voice in the drug center’s communications to the public and the industry on AI issues.</p>
<p dir="ltr">It will also perform “a landscape assessment to better understand CDER staff’s knowledge of and application of AI in their daily work,” she said.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The council will include representatives from all CDER offices and be co-led by Tala Fakhouri, Ph.D., associate director for data science and AI policy; Qi Liu, Ph.D., associate director for innovation and partnership in the Office of Clinical Pharmacology; and Sri Mantha, director of the Office of Strategic Programs.</p>

<p>We also want to say a huge thank you to our partners at Al Hamama Al Baida and Associasion Ellas who have worked hard every day to organize and teach the activities that the center hosts.</p>
<p>Currently the center holds classes and workshops in a wide array of activities including knitting, vocational skills, literacy classes in Arabic and Spanish, cooking classes and special presentations. There have also been several excursions with donated transportation to other cities and museums.  The people who live in the community have been spreading the great reputation of the center and the free classes that are offered there. We’ve been growing and expanding since this time.  Just recently members of our partner associations met with the governor of Tetouan, who told them that he had heard of our great work and growing reputation.   We have plans to keep growing in the future, offering more classes, and more field trips to help broaden the horizons of the people in this community who might not of otherwise had these kinds of opportunities.</p>
<p>Here are some pictures of recent activities from this past year.</p>

We were told that there was going to be a gathering at our community center with some of the ladies in the community, but I had absolutely no idea what it was going to be like!</p>
<p>50 people must of shown up! We ate, we sang, we danced. Then one by one the women got up and said they wanted to thank us for having the center opened. They said “I learned how to read”. “I learned how to sew” “I have a place to go now thanks to the community center”.</p>
<p>And then<span class="text_exposed_show"> they had Tivon and I stand up, and when I looked out at all those beautiful faces of grateful people smiling up at me I started to cry. They paid tribute to us and said thank you for making this possible. I was completely overwhelmed at what had been accomplished here just because we gave them all a space to blossom their love and community.</span></p>
<div class="text_exposed_show">
<p>Then a film crew was across the street filming a movie! And a famous actor Hassan walked into the center and surprised all of us! It was thrilling for these ladies!</p>
<p>Never in my life have I felt so much love and so much respect and a real sense of community. I am floored. I am humbled I am honored to be alive and to be of service in our little pocket of the world.</p>
<p>That’s it, it doesn’t matter to me what anyone says on some internet site. (cause that’s all fake anyway) The bottom line is, we are doing incredible things for people here in Morocco and every day is a miracle sent straight from God. We do make a difference and I have every reason to press on, no matter what. Just wait till you see the rest of the stuff we have planned!!!!</p>
<p>I am home forever. &lt;3   -Hope</p>

Can you imagine what it is like to go through life without being able to read and write? Illiterate people live in their own form of darkness. People communicate every day in ways that most of us take for granted. For someone who can’t read, simple things like street signs, news, or restaurant menus are impossible obstacles to overcome.</p>
<p>Two weeks ago, FTW and our local partnering associations opened the doors to our Morocco Community Center. We have a large list of  of classes workshops and services we plan to offer to the local community here. First on this list was a free Arabic Literacy class to help those in need. Opening the center was a process that took several months to do, as it involved loads of paperwork and meetings to ensure that everything was done in a legal manner. We are still in the process of acquiring furniture so that we have a place to put all of the donated computers. But a lack of surface area hasn’t stopped the people from coming who are eager to learn.</p>
<p>Fatima from Asociacion Al Hamama Al Baidae started teaching an Arab Literacy class to twenty women.   It is hard to imagine what their lives have been like up until now not being able to read and write. But we know that after obtaining this knowledge, their lives will be forever changed for the better.</p>
<p><figure id="attachment_444" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-444" style="width: 660px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="wp-image-444 size-large" src="https://www.hopegirlblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/IMG_4587-1024x768.jpg" alt="IMG_4587" width="660" height="495" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-444" class="wp-caption-text">Fatima teaching Arabic Literacy at the Morocco Community Center</figcaption></figure></p>
<p><figure id="attachment_442" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-442" style="width: 660px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="wp-image-442 size-large" src="https://www.hopegirlblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/IMG_4569-1024x768.jpg" alt="IMG_4569" width="660" height="495" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-442" class="wp-caption-text">Students write their first words at the Morocco Community Center</figcaption></figure></p>
<p>All of the work performed at the community center is conducted by volunteers in the community. The shared space of the community center is paid for by the Fix the World Organization which receives our support through global internet sales of digital products and contributions from those that support our work. Even small donation amounts to FTW add up to make all the difference and allow us to operate the community center that is enriching the lives of so many people. This is the alchemy of giving at work!</p>

<p>This is perhaps one of my most joyous stories to tell. The work of the Fix the World Organization has come to a beautiful blossom in the last couple of months and we are accomplishing what feels like a real crowning achievement from our heart space and the continued fulfillment of the mission of our organization. I am happy to share here with all of you, the story of how the Fix the World Organization came to open a community center for the poor in Morocco.</p>
<p><strong>Why we came to Morocco</strong></p>
<p>Fix the world (FTW) started three years ago with the mission to help people and change the world positively in any way that we could. We are a humanitarian organization made up of volunteers. A year ago we decided that we should move to Morocco to set up our headquarters. We noticed that there were laws, regulations and hindrances to starting business and doing regular transactions in the US, this is not the case in Morocco. We also wanted to be closer to areas of the world where our humanitarian work could do the most good for the most people. What better place to do this than Africa?</p>
<p>Morocco actually encourages foreign entrepreneurs to start businesses, and is known to many as the “gateway to Africa”. We saw many opportunities to meet new people and help those with the greatest need.</p>
<p><strong>Our Friend and Translator Alice</strong></p>
<p>When I first arrived here last October, I met Alice. She has a lovely villa that she rents, I stayed with her and we quickly became very close friends. Originally from Venezuela, she’s been in Morocco for a while and is quite familiar with the culture and the people. Alice speaks several languages: Spanish, English and local Darija (similar to Arabic).  She has been incredibly helpful to us, educating us on everything that we need to know about getting around and getting things accomplished in Morocco.</p>
<p>One day Alice and I met for some Moroccan tea, and she told me about an old converted church that she had visited where she met a group of interesting people. There were several humanitarian associations that were doing some good work inside this converted church to help people. Some of them were poor people, some of them were single mothers and some were Sub-Sahara migrants coming through Morocco and trying to enter Europe. <a href="https://hopegirl2012.files.wordpress.com/2015/09/img_3625.jpg"><br />
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-medium wp-image-5461 aligncenter" src="https://hopegirl2012.files.wordpress.com/2015/09/img_3625.jpg?w=300&amp;h=224" alt="IMG_3625" width="300" height="224" /></a>                                                                        <em>Converted Church In Morocco</em></p>
<p>One family in particular had been in Morocco for some years and were trying to cross over to get into Europe but were living in horrible conditions, in the woods to be precise, and for quite a long time. The woman even gave birth to both of her children in the woods. They were fortunate for someone to have donated a shelter for them to live in, but they still had to beg in the streets for food.</p>
<p>Alice asked me if there was anything I could do to help this family. I said “Of course I can help this single family, but I am really interested in meeting the humanitarian associations that are running the programs  to help many families.”  And then like magic, within a few days Alice was in contact with these associations and we set up a meeting.</p>
<p><strong>Association Ellas</strong></p>
<p>This is when Amelia came into my life. She runs Association Ellas. She is originally from Spain and has been in Morocco for quite some time specifically helping abandoned single mothers. In Morocco abortion is illegal, and the culture does not support children born to unmarried women. In some cases when a young girl gets pregnant, she is disowned by her family and forced to live in the street with her children.  There are three different scenarios that result in this, one is where two young lovers get pregnant from a one night stand and then the guy leaves.  Another is when two young lovers get pregnant and then stay in an unmarried relationship for a while, and then the guy leaves the girl to get married off to a “more honorable lady”. And the third is rape.   All of these women and all of their children have ended up gathered in a neighborhood here in Morocco. Sadly many of them resort to prostitution and begging in order to survive. They live in small, “holes in the wall” rooms, hidden away from society. Amelia works in this neighborhood and promised to bring us there so that we can meet the people and see how they live and how we can help.</p>
<p>Amelia has been organizing aid to the people in this neighborhood, through clothing donations, medicines, and other help. I wanted to know what I could do to help right away, and she told us about a woman who needed a wheelchair, who is currently “crawling on the ground like a snake” because she didn’t have one. There were also two others who had leg injuries that needed crutches so they could walk. Amelia sourced the wheelchair and the crutches and FTW covered the cost. We also made plans to deliver these items in person so that we could film the experience and show others some of the work we are doing.</p>
<p>Amelia and I realize that there is so much more that we want to do. We share the same desire to help these people through more permanent means such as vocational training and tutoring so that they could acquire the skills necessary to graduate themselves out of poverty.</p>

<p>By the end of our first meeting, both Amelia and I were in tears. We had found kindred spirits in each other across the borders of our different backgrounds. Meeting Amelia really help open the whole country of Morocco to us, she was kind enough to introduce us to several people she knew and worked with. One of these bright souls is a man named Mohammed.<br />

</a>                                                                                    <em>Mohammed</em><a href="https://hopegirl2012.files.wordpress.com/2015/09/10388068_351291675073209_944334299963902765_n.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-medium wp-image-5464 aligncenter" src="https://hopegirl2012.files.wordpress.com/2015/09/10388068_351291675073209_944334299963902765_n.jpg?w=300&amp;h=220" alt="10388068_351291675073209_944334299963902765_n" width="300" height="220" /></a><br />
Mohammed runs Association Manos Solidarias. He is a beautiful soul with a beautiful smile. When he opened up to us, I realized that this man was involved with some really heavy humanitarian work. He helps the migrants who are coming from the sub Saharan countries trying to get into Europe through the Morocco border.  These people are escaping from war, poverty and other hardships in search of a better life in Europe. But not all of them make it across the border, and many of them have been stranded living in the woods in the cold of winter in plastic tents with no food clothing or medical help. Some of them have been there for years. A lot of them had tried to climb over the wall and have injuries on their hands and feet that they wrapped in makeshift bandages. Having no medical supplies, these wounds would stay this way for months.</p>
<p>Mohammed’s association did a huge drive and brought in 1,110 kilos of food, bags of clothing shoes, blankets, personal hygiene products. And 11 doctors volunteered medical consultations, treated their wounds and provided medicines.</p>

<p><strong>The Neighborhood</strong></p>
<p>On our next scheduled meeting Amelia took us right into the heart of the neighborhood where she works. We were there to meet the people and see how they lived, and also to look at a couple of spaces where we could open a community center to help them.  We needed a place where all the associations could work together in a combined space.</p>
<p>The neighborhood has dirt streets and big box like buildings made out of bricks and cement everywhere. There were children with no shoes running and playing in the streets. There were bread makers baking bread in holes in the walls and a few little tiny shops. The houses had open doors with curtains in front of them. Every now and then you would be able to walk by and look in to find that people were living in a construction zone. We found out that up until recently it was illegal to build there. But these people had nowhere else to go and they just kept building places to live, a few bricks at a time.</p>
<p><a href="https://hopegirl2012.files.wordpress.com/2015/09/img_3655.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-medium wp-image-5472 aligncenter" src="https://hopegirl2012.files.wordpress.com/2015/09/img_3655.jpg?w=300&amp;h=224" alt="IMG_3655" width="300" height="224" /></a>                                                                                <em>The neighborhood</em></p>
<p>The day’s laundry was hanging from the bare beams and bricks. Rooms had single lightbulbs hung from a single wire, and there was very little space for cooking.  There was open sewage in many areas, as shower water would drain from the rooftops onto the street.</p>
<p>Right outside the neighborhood is this giant canal filled with garbage. You have to walk by it in order to get into the neighborhood, the smell is awful but clears up a bit once you’ve gotten past the area.</p>
<p><a href="https://hopegirl2012.files.wordpress.com/2015/09/img_3656.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-medium wp-image-5475 aligncenter" src="https://hopegirl2012.files.wordpress.com/2015/09/img_3656.jpg?w=300&amp;h=224" alt="IMG_3656" width="300" height="224" /></a><em>                                                                      The new clinic in the neighborhood</em></p>
<p>We went into a lot of these homes and met these women with their children.  At this one home, a beautiful girl came running out to hug us. She has 4 children and is in her mid-20’s. She was dirt poor and living in a small pink room with paint peeling off the wall and a couple of mats on the floor where she and her 4 children lived. Her smile and her amazing bright spirit touched my heart in a way that I will never forget. Her children kept hugging me and I couldn’t stop kissing them on the cheek. They loved meeting us.</p>

<p>Amelia told us that just prior to our visit, the people wouldn’t allow anyone to take any pictures of them because they were ashamed of their living conditions. Apparently the conditions had improved enough for them to allow us to take pictures. However, these conditions still need a lot more improvement before they can be considered humane.<a href="https://hopegirl2012.files.wordpress.com/2015/09/img_3664.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-medium wp-image-5482 aligncenter" src="https://hopegirl2012.files.wordpress.com/2015/09/img_3664.jpg?w=300&amp;h=224" alt="IMG_3664" width="300" height="224" /></a>We were really “in the thick” of real poverty. Seeing people living this way is heartbreaking but at the same time it feels good to be in touch with real people that really needed our help and to be there in person to smell it, to see it, feel it, and also hug the children.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Our Journey of giving begins!</strong></p>
<p>We met a few days later to pick up the wheel chair and crutches from an orthopedic shop to gift to people in need. When the owner of the orthopedic shop found out that this was for a humanitarian cause, he started opening up all of his services and came up with ideas of ways he could help more including setting up clinic services to help the sick.   This seems to happen everywhere we go. When people hear what we are trying to do to help the poor, everyone wants to help too.</p>
<p><a href="https://hopegirl2012.files.wordpress.com/2015/09/journey-to-help.png"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-medium wp-image-5473 aligncenter" src="https://hopegirl2012.files.wordpress.com/2015/09/journey-to-help.png?w=300&amp;h=251" alt="Journey to Help" width="300" height="251" /></a>We delivered the wheelchair to the “mama” of a small family. She was an elderly tribal woman with marriage tattoos on her face, an old Berber tradition. Her family, in their gratitude for receiving the wheelchair served us coca cola and cookies. Which I felt was one of the most amazing gestures as they probably didn’t have the money to even feed themselves most of the time, yet they offered this gesture towards us. We also delivered the crutches to two other people who we now know can walk around easier. <a href="http://fixtheworld.podbean.com/e/new-morocco-community-center-for-the-poor-fix-the-world-media-episode-11/?token=11a0e44dd8a7e18301f6deaa889f878b" target="_blank">(Be sure to check out the video we made of this adventure in this episode of FTW Media show here)</a></p>
<p>We are also working with a third association run by a Moroccan woman named Fatima.  She is an incredible force of goodness and gets the job done to help people. She also makes an amazing couscous!  In the coming weeks we will be joining Fatima on a 4 day trip to a hospital in Morocco to help a large group of volunteer doctors perform up to 300 cataract surgeries for people in need.</p>

<p><strong>The Community Center</strong></p>
<p>Mohammed used to have a community center in the same neighborhood Amelia worked in.  6 months ago the funding for the center was cut and they had to shut their doors. All of the children in the neighborhood were crying on this day. Hundreds of people in this neighborhood depended on this center to enrich their lives.  These are people that have no place else to go during the day and this community center meant everything to them.</p>
<p><strong>We are so happy to announce that Fix the World now joins up with Manos Solidarias and Association Ellas to re-open this community center for the poor.</strong> Fix the World will be funding it as part of our giving policy.   This is something that we can afford to do because of the support that we have received from others who follow our work.  This center will support these people, these women and children who have the most dire needs to have something in their lives.</p>

<p>The center is a large space with rooms for big gatherings, activities, tutoring, language lessons, a full computer lab, and vocational training. The center will also be used as a place to store and distribute larger donation drives of clothing, food, medicines and other items.</p>
<p>Mohammed already has all the computers for the computer lab and we’ve already gotten a couple of teachers to come in and hold classes on a volunteer basis to help teach the people of the community.   There will be different activities going on in the center on a daily basis and FTW will be fully involved in helping to work directly with the people and sharing our stories.</p>
<p><strong>Humanitarian Technology Labs</strong></p>
<p>FTW now has two humanitarian technology lab locations, one in the US and one here in Morocco. In addition to our QEG efforts we have also begun work on an assortment of other projects to help bring energy to people living in desperate situations. These include lighting, portable power generation, and water collection. This collaboration with other associations here in Morocco grants us access to the people that have the biggest need for energy.  The community center also provides us a space where we can conduct vocational training and help teach people valuable engineering skills.  Many things are still in the works, and it is a bit premature to fully announce them all here, but we will be launching some amazing new humanitarian technology projects and joint ventures with other inventors in the near future.</p>
<p><strong>About FTW Giving<br />
</strong><br />
FTW donates 10% of all of our proceeds to people in need around the world because we understand what we call the “Alchemy of Giving”. We believe that in order to receive we HAVE TO GIVE.  We are living proof that this concept works!!!  This past year alone, FTW has funded over 50 individuals and groups through Kiva loans to help people in impoverished countries help themselves and graduate out of poverty.  We wanted to do something more, something a lot more “hands on”.  Meeting our partnering humanitarian associations in Morocco and funding these efforts was an answer to our prayers.</p>
<p>If you would like to help support FTW so that we can continue to do work like this, you can become a monthly member for $6.99 a month or make a onetime or recurring donation in any amount at the links below.  In the coming weeks and months we will be setting up a proper mailing address and customs guidelines information for anyone who wishes to send physical donations to help the people in need in our community in Morocco. Also in the coming months, we plan to organize visits for people who wish to come and join us and meet the beautiful people here in this amazing exotic land.</p>
