Provider notes
Energy. 400MW from in-state solar and wind farms committed for Phase 2 buildout
Water. Google built the Mesa campus as air-cooled, chosen for Arizona's watershed scarcity; Mesa's economic-development director described it at groundbreaking as a 'cutting-edge, air-cooled data center campus.' The 2019 City of Mesa development agreement separately provided for the city to supply up to ~1 million gallons/day at launch, scaling toward ~4 million gallons/day at full build-out — a contractual water allocation/backup (on-site storage, existing wells, acquired water rights, long-term storage credits), not confirmed operational cooling consumption. …
Community. Mesa City Council approved the $1B development and GPLET agreement in July 2019 (Mayor John Giles called it 'a home run'); one councilmember abstained as a Google shareholder and voiced reservations about large-corporation tax breaks. The city projected net positive tax revenue.
What the source record says
Three-phase campus through 2030; originally filed anonymously as Project Red Hawk via LLC Stone Applications. Phase 1 operational July 2025. Phase 2 under construction. Coordinates at Elliot and Sossaman roads, SE Mesa. 2019 development agreement requires >=$600M capex by 2025, >=$1B by 2029, 750,000 sq ft built by 2030, and a >=$65,000 average full-time data-center salary; construction workforce has been cited around 1,200 (an estimate, not a permanent-jobs count). Status reflects Phase 1 (Redhawk 1), operational since July 2025; Phases 2 and 3 remain under construction, which is why Google's own US locations index still lists Mesa under sites in development.
Any MW value is reproduced as source-reported context. Its measurement boundary is not established consistently enough for comparison. Unknown is not zero.
