CleanSpark Joins teams up with Partnership Gwinnett

Cleanspark has announced its partnership with Partnership Gwinnett, which will see an expected capital and human investments of nearly $145 million over the next five years at CleanSpark's data center in Norcross, Georgia. The facility is forecast to be operational by the end of 2021.

Speaking about the transformative effect that the Norcross facility will have on the local area, Gwinnett County Chairwoman Nicole Hendrickson said: "With CleanSpark coming to Norcross, it means economic stability in a workforce tailored to providing solutions to modern energy challenges."

Mining operations at the facility are expected to be 100% carbon neutral, with the company participating in Georgia's Simple Solar program. Projections for the site include the addition of onsite renewables, solar installations, and other microgrid energy solutions. 

Norcross Mayor Craig L. Newton commented: "We are also exceptionally honored that such an innovative and forward-looking corporation as CleanSpark intentionally selected Norcross as home to its newest data center. 

He added: "Economic viability and environmental stability are directly tied together, and Norcross is fortunate that a growing number of companies recognize our dedication to both. We look forward to welcoming CleanSpark and the many jobs it will bring to our city later this year."

Zach Bradford, CleanSpark CEO and President, outlined that he and his company believe that bitcoin mining can make "a positive contribution" to the neighborhoods in which the company is operational. He added: "We are committed to being socially and environmentally responsible partners and are proud to work with Partnership Gwinnett as we grow our relationships with other businesses and governmental organizations in Georgia."
