Kearney city officials will discuss a conditional use permit for Worldwide Mission Critical's data center, which will be developed in three phases and include repurposing an existing cryptocurrency mining site's capacity. The project involves substantial water and electrical use and must meet sound level regulations, with city staff recommending approval under several conditions.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Deep Tech: Telecom & Connectivity.

◆ The Wire takeaway

You must act on new local permitting rules for large-scale data centres in Kearney that set strict water and sound standards. This conditional use permit process opens a door but also raises compliance demands you cannot ignore.
