Why Weld County

Weld County provides strong infrastructure, access to power, and an established industrial footprint.

By repurposing the former Carestream Health site, the project avoids developing new land and instead reinvests in an existing property, supporting responsible growth and preserving surrounding open space.

Power Usage

Grid Coordination: The project operates within regional capacity and supports a stable energy system.

On-Site Power Generation: Behind-the-meter power generation reduces demand on the public grid and helps avoid competition with residential usage during peak periods.

Infrastructure Investment: All required electrical upgrades are funded by the project, with no public funding or taxpayer burden.

Technology

Advanced systems are designed to operate efficiently while minimizing environmental impact.

No evaporation or discharge associated with traditional cooling towers.

The closed-loop design eliminates the need for large-scale chemical treatments commonly used in open systems.

closed-loop cooling system

This system is designed to protect local water resources while supporting critical infrastructure. The facility uses a closed-loop cooling system that continuously recirculates water rather than consuming it.

This design significantly reduces ongoing water demand compared to many traditional industrial and irrigated uses, as water is reused within a sealed system instead of being lost through evaporation. By minimizing water consumption and eliminating continuous withdrawal, the system is designed to operate efficiently while helping preserve local water resources.

frequently asked questions

What is an AI data center?2026-04-27T20:17:39+00:00

An AI data center is a high-performance computing environment purpose-built to support artificial intelligence workloads, enabling rapid data processing, large-scale model training, and real-time decision-making through advanced infrastructure optimized for speed, efficiency, and scalability.

Why is the project located in Weld County?2026-04-26T22:04:25+00:00

The site was selected due to existing industrial use, available infrastructure, and alignment with regional planning. Reusing the former Carestream site allows development without impacting agricultural land or open space.

How much water does the facility use?2026-04-27T17:03:58+00:00

The facility uses a closed-loop system that continuously reuses water, resulting in minimal ongoing use compared to many industrial and irrigated operations. After the initial fill, water is recirculated rather than continuously consumed, and the system typically requires only minimal replenishment of 1% each year, which is roughly the amount of water that fills a large backyard hot tub.

Will this affect the local water supply?2026-04-29T16:23:31+00:00

No. The system is designed to operate efficiently with minimal demand, helping protect local resources.

How is the project powered?2026-04-26T22:02:42+00:00

The project operates within regional capacity and includes on-site power generation to reduce reliance on the public grid. We coordinate closely with the electric utility on long-term power planning to protect the local grid and will fund any upgrades that may be needed so they are not borne by ratepayers.

Will this affect power availability for local residents?2026-04-26T22:10:26+00:00

No. The facility is designed to support grid stability and avoid competing with residential demand.

Will the data center be noisy?2026-04-26T22:01:42+00:00

The facility is designed to operate as a quiet industrial neighbor. Sound levels at the property boundary are expected to be approximately 60–65 decibels, comparable to a normal conversation or the same level of noise as a household dishwasher.

How will this project affect the local community?2026-04-29T16:23:57+00:00

The project contributes to the local economy through job creation, property tax revenue, and partnerships with local businesses, while maintaining a low day-to-day impact with minimal traffic and limited strain on public infrastructure.

What types of jobs will this project create?2026-06-03T15:54:29+00:00

The project contributes significant property tax revenue to support schools and public services. It is expected to create 1500 construction jobs and up to 200 long-term, high-wage roles, while also supporting local contractors and businesses. These opportunities span a range of fields, including:

  • Construction & Skilled Trades
  • Engineering & Technical Roles
  • Operations & Facility Management
  • Security & Support
Will this project affect my utility rates?2026-04-26T21:59:07+00:00

No. By generating a portion of our own power and using a closed-loop water system (a cooling system in which the same water is reused over and over instead of being consumed), we are able to avoid driving up local costs or requiring municipal infrastructure expansions.

How will this project impact the environment responsibly?2026-04-27T20:16:25+00:00

The project is designed to be environmentally responsible, reducing environmental impact to the surrounding area by using existing industrial land, minimizing water consumption through a closed-loop cooling system, and incorporating energy-efficient infrastructure. This approach reduces the need for new land development, limits ongoing resource use, and supports long-term, responsible operation within the Weld County community.

Are there opportunities to partner with the Global AI’s Colorado Data Center?2026-04-26T22:06:50+00:00

The project is exploring partnerships with local organizations, contractors, and community groups. As the project progresses, more information on job opportunities and partnerships will be made available.
