Buckeye Tech Corridor data center park
Also called: Buckeye Tech Corridor
Tract plans a giant data center park on nearly 2,000 acres in Buckeye, with dozens of buildings built over about 15 years. The city approved it in 2024 and agreed to repay up to $50 million of road and pipe costs later. Tract says it could bring 500 permanent jobs.
Where things stand: Buckeye City Council approved the plan and a development deal in Aug 2024. Build-out could take 15 years.
π Latest update (Aug 6, 2024): Buckeye City Council unanimously approved a plan change and a development agreement with Tract.

Local votes and rules
πΊοΈ Zoning change
City council passed Ordinance 04-26, lifting old limits that kept a 157-acre site to hydrogen production. The land is now open to heavy industry; the owner is interested in a data center, which would still need a conditional use permit.
