Maricopa County's Planning and Zoning Commission recently gave unanimous approval for a military special use permit for "Project Baccara", a significant data center campus. The project, which also includes a gas power plant, is being developed by Takanock LLC, a Michigan-based data center firm. Takanock LLC has plans to invest a total of $36 billion across four sites in three states, preparing land and building out extensive new campuses. The 160-acre site designated for Project Baccara is situated in Arizona's West Valley, near Luke Air Force Base, and lies just outside the city limits of Surprise and Glendale. This approval marks a key step forward for the controversial project, indicating progress despite potential local concerns.
