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
No dated operational history is established in this record. Publication, discovery and source-update dates are not opening dates.
Source notes
A ~$100 million expansion (dubbed 'Grey Wolf') consolidating IT operations for the FBI, U.S. Marshals Service, a U.S. Attorney's Office, the Bureau of Prisons, and the Treasury Department, as part of a nationwide DOJ consolidation from roughly 110 data centers down to three (Pocatello, ID; Clarksburg, WV; Sterling, VA) -- reported to have generated over $135 million in savings. 140,000 sq ft total: 100,000 sq ft of secure data-center space plus 40,000 sq ft of office space. Broke ground October 2017; ribbon-cutting held 2019-11-18, with 300 staff at opening and stated room to grow by roughly 250 more over two to five years. Coordinates corrected 2026-09-12 from a Pocatello city-centroid placeholder to the OpenStreetMap POI for the FBI facility on Duckett Byrnes Street (cited below); the pin is building-level, not parcel-surveyed, hence precision remains approximate. Neither press source fetched stated a street address or MW capacity. No AI classification is recorded: this is general-purpose government IT/records infrastructure, not an AI-oriented facility.
