What the source record says
77,000 sq ft Tier III data center in the Cheyenne Business Park east of Cheyenne along Interstate 80, built adjacent to EchoStar's satellite uplink and broadcast facility. Announced 2010-08-03 with completion expected by end of 2011; the 2026 Wyoming Business Council materials describe it in the present tense as a certified qualifying data center. Jobs are not recorded: the widely quoted 360-plus Cheyenne headcount covers the whole broadcast centre, an entity-level figure that must not be attributed to the data center. Coordinates approximate the Cheyenne Business Park, not a parcel-confirmed point.
Any MW value is reproduced as source-reported context. Its measurement boundary is not established consistently enough for comparison. Unknown is not zero.

These sources are listed for the whole row. Unless a figure links to its own source, the provider does not mark which one gave it, so a figure may not appear in every source.

Compute Atlas 1.34.1 with retained prior rows and publication holds. This is a DataCenterData composite, not an unmodified publisher edition. This row uses the captured source from 1.34.1, source as of 2026-10-14T20:40:52.293Z.
That does not mean the row is wrong, and it does not mean no reviewed record exists for the same place. A link is added only when an identifier or source establishes the match.
