Description

Description

A potentially colossal data center project on farmland near Rochester, Minnesota, slated for the small city of Pine Island. The development would sit on 482 acres and could have a footprint of 3 million square feet, making it significantly larger than other data centers in the region. The project is in early stages of development, with Google invited to discuss the site, but it is not confirmed if Google is the operator. Ryan Cos., a Minneapolis-based construction firm, has handled regulatory review for the city. The data center would use an air-cooling system to minimize water use and comply with new state guidelines for environmental protection.
