Proposed
Provident data center on Hillsboro EDC land
Provident wants to buy 300 acres from Hillsboro's economic development group for a data center campus. Many residents oppose it. The group gave Provident more time to study the site before deciding.
Where things stand: City economic development group extended a pre-sale contract by four months in spring 2026 to study the sale.
🕒 Latest update (April 24, 2026): Many residents spoke against the plan at a public meeting.
