Description

Meta is constructing a 715,000-square-foot data center in Cheyenne, Wyoming, with an estimated investment of over $800 million. The project is managed by contractor Fortis Construction. In 2026, the Cheyenne Board of Public Utilities identified a rare bacteria, Cupriavidus gilardii, in the city's wastewater and traced its source to an industrial user within the system, suspected to be related to the data center's contractor. The source was barred from discharging into the wastewater system, and investigations were conducted by Meta and Fortis Construction.
