Grid & water — why here
source: HIFLD · EPAThe closest existing grid infrastructure and the municipal water system this location sits in — the same constraints the buildout model screens on (it won't site a campus more than ~2 km from a substation or ~5 km from municipal water). Distances are straight-line to public HIFLD/EPA features, not a metered connection.

Tax breaks & subsidies
source: Good Jobs First / GASB 77No per-deal tax break is linked to this site yet. No state discloses the recipient of a data-center abatement at the facility level, so per-site deals are rare in the public record. If you have a development agreement or board resolution for this site, send it to us.
Oregon reported $26.9M in Enterprise Zone (Long-Term Rural EZ, ORS 285C.400) property-tax abatement — Crook County (Meta Prineville campus) for FY2025 (Crook County, Oregon (audited financial statements / GASB 77 note)). Program-wide, not attributable to this site.
Water use

If you have a utility document for this site, send it to us.
