A data center campus could be coming to Wisconsin.A company working through the Degas LLC affiliate is seeking to invest around $567m developing a data center campus on a 520-acre site previously marketed as the Beaver Dam Commerce Park. The site is located along US Highway 151, Hemlock Road, and County Highways A and W – it is on sale for $20,000 per acre.
Trent Campbell of the Beaver Dam Area Development Corporation confirmed to the press that the Beaver Dam Area Development Corporation, the city of Beaver Dam and Alliant Energy are working in partnership on a potential data center project.
Campbell said the project has yet to be finalized but “significant progress” had been made. The city has approved development and water/wastewater agreements with the potential end user.
“The entity we are working with is currently attempting to obtain non-local project approvals. Any future development will be dependent on the success of those efforts,” he said. “While site preparation work may commence in the coming weeks, facility construction and related local permitting would not take place until all required project approvals are secured.”
