Teraplex data center (Gallup Tradeport)
A new company wants to build a data center on about 330 acres at the Gallup Tradeport, cooled with the city's treated wastewater and powered by its own solar and gas. The city has not approved the water deal. Navajo residents raised water concerns.
Where things stand: City council delayed a vote on selling treated wastewater to the project (April 2026). No later vote found.
