Weld County approves what could be the largest data center in Colorado
Weld County Commissioners unanimously approved a key permit for a 41-acre data center project by Global AI, despite hours of public objections concerning power, water usage, and noise. The facility, located between Greeley and Windsor, will be built in phases and could become Colorado's largest data center.
The Weld County Board of Commissioners has unanimously approved a key permit for a 41-acre data center project, moving forward with plans despite significant public opposition.
The facility, to be developed by Global AI, will take over an existing industrial site located between Greeley and Windsor, Colorado. Global AI aims for the data center to be operational by the end of the year.
The approval followed hours of public objections from residents concerned about the facility's potential impact, specifically citing power and water usage, as well as noise. Commissioners stated that compliance departments would closely monitor the project. The board also noted that the build would occur in phases and, upon completion, could potentially become the largest data center in the state.
