No one wanted to redevelop this polluted property. Then came AI.

A Colorado-based firm, Viridian Partners, proposes an $8 billion, 800 MW data center campus on a former General Motors brownfield site in Janesville, Wisconsin.

A ballot initiative to stop the project will be presented to voters in November.
