Michael Bogdan, chairman of DC Blox and head of the digital infrastructure group at Future Standard, the company’s lead sponsor, added: “This milestone reflects the strength of DC Blox’s vision and the confidence in its execution.”
“The company is uniquely positioned to partner with both local communities and hyperscale customers and help accelerate the southeast’s emergence as a global hub for AI-driven innovation. We are pleased to welcome Global Infrastructure Partners as a strategic and financial partner in DC Blox’s next phase of growth.”
