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.
Reported lifecycle history
- Operational

Source notes
77,000 sq ft Tier III data center in the Cheyenne Business Park east of Cheyenne along Interstate 80, built adjacent to EchoStar's satellite uplink and broadcast facility. Announced 2010-08-03 with completion expected by end of 2011; the 2026 Wyoming Business Council materials describe it in the present tense as a certified qualifying data center. Jobs are not recorded: the widely quoted 360-plus Cheyenne headcount covers the whole broadcast centre, an entity-level figure that must not be attributed to the data center. Coordinates approximate the Cheyenne Business Park, not a parcel-confirmed point.
