Source-reported capacity; not metered consumption. Review underlying documents and notes. Planned capacity may include future phases and is not added to operational capacity here. The source may use facility, grid-feed or IT capacity definitions; consult the linked documents.

Coordinate precision is a source label, not an independent parcel survey. A marker does not confirm utility territory or establish an effect on residential bills.

No dated operational history is established in this record. Publication, discovery and source-update dates are not opening dates.

Source notes

Proposed hyperscale data center campus on the former Tailgate Ranch in unincorporated Leavenworth County, south of Tonganoxie and south of the Tonganoxie Business Park, near the Tonganoxie/Eudora interchange on I-70. Reported as roughly 1,000 acres (KSHB; the Lawrence Journal-World writes "more than 1,000 acres" and the community lead that flagged the site claimed 1,100 acres; as of September 2026, no source found states 1,100, so 1,000 is recorded and the discrepancy is noted here). KSHB reports 330 acres set aside for permanent land conservation. The planned capacity recorded here is the reported ceiling: a revised proposal submitted after Leavenworth County's data center moratorium expired in August 2026 roughly doubled the project's electricity demand to "up to 1.2 gigawatts" and added an on-site gas power plant; a lower figure appears in one Journal-World reference ("600-watt data center", evidently a units error in the source) and is not used. Location precision is approximate: as of September 2026, no source found states coordinates, a street address or a parcel, so the pin is the Tonganoxie town centroid (OpenStreetMap/Nominatim) and the actual footprint lies some distance south of it. Cloverleaf Infrastructure, a Houston-based developer founded by former Microsoft energy executives, describes itself as a site-preparation developer that will introduce an end user later; no hyperscale tenant has been named. Cloverleaf's own site describes a "multi-billion-dollar taxable investment" but states no dollar figure, so no investment figure is recorded. As of 2026-09-23 the project is conceptual: Cloverleaf's FAQ states no formal applications have been submitted to local jurisdictions, and the county's data center planning and zoning regulations are not finalized.

Cloverleaf states Evergy is conducting a power study for the project and that the developer will fund any power and transmission upgrades required. The revised proposal adds an on-site gas power plant; Cloverleaf's FAQ frames on-site generation as being evaluated to supply the grid rather than the project directly, while local reporting describes the gas plant as sited near Tonganoxie's schools. On-site nuclear is explicitly not under consideration. The energy source is left unset because the grid/on-site split is unresolved in the sources.
