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.

Underlying source
Source notes
AI/cloud campus proposed near Latham in Logan County; estimated up to $65M/year in property tax revenue and a project labor agreement with local trades. No land area is recorded: the operator page states 50 acres while press accounts describe roughly 200 acres of farmland. Public-reception check (2026-09-10): Hut 8's own project page documents a real community-engagement process -- a public meeting before the Logan County Board's Zoning and Economic Development Committee (2026-01-05), a local radio interview (2026-01-15), and a community open house at the Lincoln Banquet Center (2026-02-04) -- but records no resident reaction, vote outcome, or opposition/support statement from any of those events. Checked: operator project page only; Logan County meeting minutes not checked.
Grid-served by Ameren Illinois inside MISO; formal interconnection and system impact studies required before energization.
