Congratulations to our partners in Kansas City, Missouri, on Meta’s investment in a $800 million hyperscale data center. The company, formerly known as Facebook, will locate nearly 1 million square feet in Golden Plains Technology Park, a 5.5 million-square-foot data center campus in Kansas City, Missouri.
Meta’s new Kansas City location, which will create 100 operational jobs and more than 1,300 jobs during peak construction, will be one of the most sustainable data centers in the world and will add additional renewable energy to the region’s local grid.
“Meta is excited to call Kansas City our new home. It stands out with so much to offer - good access to infrastructure and fiber, a strong pool of talent for both construction and operations, and more than anything, great community partners,” said Darcy Nothnagle, director of community and economic development, Meta. “Meta is committed to being a good neighbor and investing in the long-term vitality of the region for years to come.”
