Maquoketa Data Center

A new data center is proposed for Maquoketa, Iowa, with plans for a facility on a 46-acre site located off Highway 61 within the city's industrial park. The land is already zoned Heavy Industrial (I-3). While specific details about the project remain undisclosed, city council documents indicate it is expected to be "small to mid-sized." An end-user for the facility has not yet been secured, and it has been confirmed that the site will not be utilized for cryptocurrency operations. The developer is reportedly not seeking any incentives and will be responsible for any infrastructure upgrade costs. The project has generated discussion among local residents.
