Location
Weld County, CO Approximate location — The County locates the approved reuse in an existing light-industrial area near Windsor. It does not provide a street address, parcel or coordinate, and 'near Windsor' is not converted into City of Windsor situs.
Physical scale
The approved proposal reuses an existing vacant industrial manufacturing facility. The County says future expansion beyond that proposal requires additional review; no acreage, floor area or data-center building count is published.
What the sources support
Weld County says its Board of County Commissioners voted 5-0 on September 9, 2026 to approve Use by Special Review permit USR26-0019 for Global AI (Colorado), LLC. The County says the USR supplies the required land-use approval and that all required construction-related permits and approvals must still be obtained. This is land-use approval, not construction or operation.

Records are grouped by system and may describe requests or plans. A highlighted group does not prove every named component is installed or operating. Labels name the source, not a confidence rating. A part with no record here may still exist. Each part links to how it works.
Quote-bound facts: each shows the value, the source address, the capture hash (first 12 characters; the full SHA-256 is in the page markup) and the capture date. The source's exact wording stays in the capture record and is not republished here; the capture hash binds it.
No quote-bound fact with a hashed capture is recorded for this facility.

Jurisdiction and policy actions
Policy actions are matched to this facility by jurisdiction (state, county, municipality or utility), never by the facility's name. A match means the action covers the place, not that it names or affects this facility.
We plan to re-check this facility every 90 days because it has a reviewed record whose status may still change. Next check due . The last-checked date is the newest evidence date among this facility's sources. Dates are measured against the newest input date, , not the day this page was built.
Update this profile with a public source. The request includes topics needing more information; this does not mean the facility lacks them. Corrections and additions are reviewed before publication.
