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

Microsoft's first data center site outside the West Des Moines cluster - farmland acquired in Van Meter's Vision Park (a state-certified shovel-ready site since 2014). The recorded investment of $40M is the land purchase only, not construction capex. Status is early planning per the cited sources (no confirmed site plan or construction start). Other reporting suggests a much larger eventual campus. The Van Meter City Council's 23 March 2026 workshop packet includes a development agreement with Microsoft stating an estimated investment of about $420 million, with a schedule for 10 buildings (Exhibit C); adoption of the agreement is not confirmed in a readable source.
