According to Iron County, the data center campus would consist of five buildings totaling approximately 1.35 million sq ft (125,000 sqm) and a natural gas power plant offering up to 1.5GW at full buildout.If developed, the facility would be located along Antelope Spring Road, around 7.8 miles (12.6km) west of Iron Spring Road in Cedar City, Utah.
Should it be built, the facility would be located along Antelope Spring Road, approximately 7.8 miles (12.6km) west of Iron Spring Road, Cedar City, Utah. The data center is expected to use a closed-loop cooling system. According to Iron County, the project could create around 670 direct jobs across areas such as information technology, power engineering, facility management, security, and administration.
