Reported lifecycle history

  1. Proposed

    Applied Digital proposed a 430 MW AI data center campus near Toronto, SD, with up to $16 billion of announced investment and up to 200 permanent jobs. Data Center Dynamics reported the company was 'proposing an AI data center development east of Toronto in South Dakota.'

    Underlying source
  2. Cancelled

    Applied Digital told Keloland (statement March 2026) that the project was 'unlikely to go forward,' citing the South Dakota legislature's failure to pass a 50-year sales-tax exemption on IT equipment, and said it would let its land option near Toronto lapse.

Source notes

The record is listed as cancelled per Applied Digital's own March 2026 statement (land option to lapse). The 'up to $16 billion' investment and up to 200 jobs were announced figures for the proposal. The investment is recorded in the status history rather than as a structured investment figure, since the project will not proceed; the jobs figure is recorded as 200 permanent jobs from Applied Digital's April 2025 presentation to the Deuel County Commissioners, where KXLG reported the facility was expected to employ around 200 people in permanent roles. The AI classification is marked confirmed — Data Center Dynamics reported it as an AI data center. The Otter Tail Power association reflects the proposed (now abandoned) siting. Deuel County Commission minutes of December 16, 2025 record a 300-acre facility with two buildings.

Proposed site was near Otter Tail Power transmission lines and a natural gas plant in Astoria.
