Monolith, a company based in Lincoln, is pursuing plans to construct a data center at its Olive Creek Campus in Hallam, Nebraska. The project is envisioned in two phases. The initial phase involves a small parcel within Olive Creek and necessitates an amendment to Hallam's zoning ordinance to officially authorize "data center" as a permissible land use.

The company anticipates submitting its application for this first phase by mid-July. Monolith has identified Crusoe as a potential project partner for this development. Public hearings are expected as part of the approval process to amend the zoning ordinance.
