Notes on the record
Global Stack LLC (Santa Ana-based) proposed an approximately 5-acre data center described as an 'emergency preparedness hub,' reported at 8 to 10 MW, on the Solano County Fairgrounds. Part of a stated company plan to add small-scale data centers to 70+ California fairgrounds by 2030. No capacity is recorded because the source gives a range (8-10 MW), not a single figure. In July 2026, the Fair Association's CEO said the item "will not be re-calendared" and that "there is no pending development proposal"; the record is listed as cancelled.
