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
- Proposed
Iowa Economic Development Authority board signed off on Davenport's 20-year, 60 percent property tax exemption; board documents named Meta as the company behind the site.
Underlying source
Source notes
328-acre parcel at the northwest corner of Hillandale Road and Enterprise Way in northwest Davenport, held through Vemerald LLC, described in a state news release as a wholly owned subsidiary of Meta Platforms, Inc. State board documents from May 2024 said Meta would evaluate the parcel until Q1 2025, break ground by Q4 2025 and complete the data center by end of 2027. As of March 2026 the land had been purchased but construction had not started, so the record stays listed as proposed rather than under construction. Job count is 35 at $28.76/hour or more per state board documents; Davenport city documents put it at 50. Distinct site from the tracked Meta Altoona campus.
