Broadview Data Center Sparks Political Fight

Quantica Infrastructure’s proposed Big Sky Digital Infrastructure data center near Broadview, Montana, has become a focal point for local opposition and a political challenge to state Senator Daniel Zolnikov.

Residents and opponents have raised concerns about water use, electricity rates, tax benefits for dedicated power plants, and the handling of a petition seeking voter approval or a pause in development. Reported campaign contributions by Quantica executives and the company’s ties to state energy policy have intensified scrutiny, while questions remain about the project’s approvals, utility arrangements, and ultimate construction timeline.
