A proposed data center in Red Cedar, Dunn County, Wisconsin, could represent a $1.6 billion investment by Balloonist LLC, a company believed to be linked to a major tech firm. The site spans 324 acres, recently annexed and rezoned by the City of Menomonie to enable development along County Highway B. While construction is not expected before 2027, concept plans suggest up to 15 buildings or equipment yards may be built.
The facility could consume approximately 75,000 gallons of water daily and create 50–75 full-time jobs once operational. No specific IT load, cooling systems, or power configurations have been disclosed yet, and the number of actual data halls remains undefined. The project is still in its early stages, with no formal proposal approved, but its scale positions it among the largest potential builds in the region.
This is a campus listing, that covers multiple data centers.
