Dean Lakes data center in existing building (Shakopee)
A smaller data center is being built inside an existing industrial building in Shakopee's Dean Lakes park. The city says it uses air cooling, indoor backup generators, little water, and no new power lines.
Where things stand: Under construction inside an existing building. The use is allowed by zoning, so no council vote was needed.
