Hyperscale data center gains rezoning vote after hours of opposing testimony

The Sioux Falls City Council voted to rezone property and approve a preliminary subdivision plan for a proposed hyperscale data center project about 1 mile south of the Veterans Parkway exit for Interstate 90, near the intersection with Rice Street. The property is owned by Gemini Data Center SD LLC, which is connected to a California-based family office. The vote followed several hours of public input, with most of the testimony opposing the project.
