Provider notes
Water. Closed-loop cooling with recirculated water-and-glycol fluid rather than continuous consumption. PathOne estimates 350,000 to 700,000 gallons annually for a 10 MW facility and 875,000 to 1.7 million gallons per year at 25 MW. Residents pressed for enforceable commitments rather than estimates, and raised the impact on nearby wells.
Community. Sioux County has a one-year moratorium on data centers in unincorporated areas, effective 2026-06-16, and no formal county approval has been granted. At a public meeting residents sought specific enforceable commitments rather than estimates, and raised water supply impact on nearby wells, low-frequency noise effects on people and livestock, construction duration and evening work schedules, and accountability under future ownership. PathOne says it will pay full property taxes without requesting abatement, and projects 10 to 20 permanent full-time positions plus temporary construction jobs.
What the source record says
Proposed redevelopment of the former Bison Renewable Energy property at 3071 330th Street near Hull, south of the Highway 18 and 75 intersection (Perkins Corner). Built in 10 MW blocks: an initial 10 MW facility in roughly 40,000 sq ft, with PathOne asking Sioux County to cap any project at the site at no more than 25 MW. A fully developed site would occupy fewer than 30 acres. Estimated investment is a range of $100 million to $375 million, so no single investmentUsd figure is recorded. No tenant has been identified. Permanent jobs are given as a 10-20 range and are therefore recorded in prose rather than as a jobs count.
Any MW value is reproduced as source-reported context. Its measurement boundary is not established consistently enough for comparison. Unknown is not zero.
