The developer plans to cap water use at 43 million gallons a year. The city uses about 250 million gallons a year.

Notes on the record

The site lies just north of Cannon Falls, between Highway 52 and Rochester Blvd, on land annexed from Randolph Township. Reported acreage is about 240 to 250+ acres. The pin is the city centroid because no parcel point was sourced. The Post Bulletin article (Nov 6, 2025) says the vote was 'Wednesday', inferred as Nov 5, 2025. Investment figures conflict ('$30 billion over 20 years' per KSTP versus 'hundreds of millions to potentially a billion' per KTTC), so investment is omitted.

What the record does not establish, and the document that would

In every fight on our tracker the decisive fact came out of a public records request. These are the requests for this site.

  • Power capacity in megawatts
  • Cooling method and water use
  • Tax abatements or other public subsidy
  • Land area
Which document closes each gap
Power capacity in megawatts
The utility's large load service agreement, the interconnection request in the grid operator's queue, or the electrical site plan in the permit file.
Cooling method and water use
The water service agreement, any groundwater appropriation permit, and the mechanical narrative in the site plan.
Tax abatements or other public subsidy
The abatement, PILOT, or development agreement approved by the county, city, or development authority, and the state's data center sales tax exemption certificate if one was issued.
Land area
The rezoning application, the plat, or the deed recorded with the county.
