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. The project, supported by city officials as a redevelopment opportunity, faces local opposition due to environmental concerns, electricity demands, and worries about economic dependency. A ballot initiative to stop the project will be presented to voters in November.
