The Data Center Digest has refreshed its interactive Data Center Map, adding six markets and updating the regulatory status of several existing ones. The map now covers 41 markets, up from 35.
The new markets reflect projects that have moved into the news in recent weeks. In the Texas Panhandle, Crusoe's Goodnight campus east of Amarillo is under construction with Google as the end user and about $29 billion of investment expected. In southern New Mexico, Oracle and OpenAI's 2.45 GW Project Jupiter campus is facing pipeline delays, and Oracle sent a force majeure notice to its developer on Sept. 24. The map also adds the Quantum Frederick park in Frederick, Md., where Amazon is building four data centers; Vantage's $15 billion-plus Lighthouse campus in Port Washington, Wis.; Aligned's 2 GW Project Phoenix campus in Shippingport, Pa., which broke ground Sept. 10; and the Stratos project in Box Elder County, Utah, which has drawn organized opposition.
Several existing entries changed as policy moved. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott directed state regulators on Sept. 21 to halt all data center permits until audits of the state grid and water board are complete, and the map's Dallas-Fort Worth, West Texas, and San Antonio entries now reflect that pause. In Chicago, the mayor proposed a 12-month moratorium ordinance on Sept. 23 that is before a City Council committee. Charlotte's City Council has set an Oct. 12 public hearing on extending its moratorium, which expires Nov. 5. Loudoun County, Va., is scheduled to vote Oct. 20 on a resolution pausing legislative data center applications for up to 12 months, and New York Gov. Kathy Hochul has until Dec. 31 to act on the Responsible Data Center Development Act. The Homer City, Pa., entry now includes Amazon Web Services' filing for a 36-building, 1,100-acre campus.
The map's legislation layer continues to update automatically from the Digest's legislation tracker.
