Description
Description | Google initially planned to build a data center in rural Linn County, Iowa, but shifted the project to the city of Palo. The data center is proposed to be located just south of the Duane Arnold Nuclear Power Plant near Palo. The project involves annexing a piece of Linn County into Palo to facilitate the data center construction, which would be powered by the nuclear plant coming back online. Negotiations involved tax benefits and incentives, with discussions about a 50-50 split of benefits between Linn County and Palo. Water resource protection and water ordinance enforcement were key concerns during negotiations. |
