Maquoketa Data Center

Lot Size: 46 acres

An unnamed developer has proposed a small-to-mid-sized speculative data center campus on a 46-acre heavy industrial site in Maquoketa, Iowa.

Introduced in July 2026, the project has been highlighted by city officials as a rare, highly favorable agreement because the firm is not seeking any tax breaks, electricity discounts, or municipal incentives, and will fully fund all necessary infrastructure upgrades. While the local government anticipates a significant long-term boost to school and county budgets, the community remains heavily divided, with residents raising concerns over environmental impacts and resource consumption. The pending land sale is contingent on a final development agreement that explicitly bans cryptocurrency mining and establishes strict noise and utility protections.
