Being built
Iron Mountain MIA-1 data center (Westview)
Also called: MIA-1, MIA1
Iron Mountain is building a 16 megawatt, 150,000 square foot data center on 3.4 acres in the Westview neighborhood. Neighbors say they were not told, because the county treats data centers on industrial land like phone hubs that need no new approval.
Where things stand: Under construction; building topped out in September 2025 and due to open in 2026.
🕒 Latest update (Sept 2025): The building was topped out.
