          Community members in Tucson packed the Pima County Board of Supervisors meeting Tuesday asking them to put a stop to Project Blue — a data center proposed for a 290-acre swath of county land. A non-disclosure agreement obtained by the Arizona Luminaria show Amazon Web Services is the company behind the project. The Pima County Board of Supervisors voted 3-2 to approve the land sale in June, and the proposal next sat the city of Tucson — which needed to decide whether to annex the land and provide millions of gallons of city water to cool off computer systems inside the data center. City leaders rejected that proposal this summer amid public outcry. Now Project Blue’s developer, Beale Infrastructure, wants to use electricity for its cooling needs from Tucson Electric Power, or TEP.
