EAGLE MOUNTAIN, Utah — A data center in Eagle Mountain has been evacuated after a bomb threat was received Friday afternoon.
The Utah County Sheriff's Office said one of the under-construction buildings on the campus of the QTS Data Center was the target of the threat, and since authorities are treating it as a real threat, evacuations were ordered.
According to QTS, all employees were evacuated from the facility, with many telling FOX 13 News on social media that everyone had been sent home for the day.
QTS acknowledged the threat in a release, saying, "The safety and security of our employees and the surrounding community are our top priorities."
Officials confirmed nothing suspicious was found at the Data Center and have since cleared the area. The incident remains under investigation, though there are no ongoing safety concerns at this time.
