Galaxy Digital is developing an artificial intelligence (AI) and high-performance computing (HPC) campus on a 500-acre land parcel located within the McGregor Industrial Park in McLennan County, Texas.

To support high-density workloads while protecting local infrastructure, Galaxy is privately funding a dedicated electrical substation, paying for local transmission upgrades, and implementing a closed-loop cooling system to limit municipal water consumption.
