Minnesota data center and compute infrastructure research

This state has reviewed research coverage from the national 50-state Atlas. Exact project locations are published only after source evidence establishes coordinates; state-level, regulatory, utility and prospective evidence remains visible without inventing map precision.

State research coverage

Minnesota is part of the 50-state research coverage.

The current reviewed research set contains 5 accepted evidence records for Minnesota, including 1 confirmed and 4 accepted prospective rows, with a research cutoff of 2026-08-20. These are evidence records, not a count of unique facilities.

Prospective records remain labeled as proposals, applications, forecasts, targets, queue entries or other non-operational states. The Atlas does not convert state-level or locality evidence into a precise project point unless a controlling source supports that location.

Evidence-backed project locations

Minnesota project points

Source-exact records use supported coordinates. Dashed rings mark Census address-range geocodes, not rooftop or surveyed coordinates. Qualified research candidates are shown separately at Census locality or county centroids when that is the strongest source-backed geography; those markers do not claim a precise site coordinate.

Documented project / site inventory

10 project, facility, campus or documented site records are tracked for MN.

This project layer combines available project-profile, permit/intent and civic-impact evidence. Records retain unresolved location precision and limitations rather than inventing coordinates.

Public records and supporting context

Development context

These dated decisions, filings, research collections and supporting-infrastructure records provide context. They are not additional data-center facilities.

Minnesota research pass: complete verified

This state completion snapshot summarizes source-backed research. It does not add map points, alter canonical facility counts, convert provider presence into a separate physical facility, or convert planned capacity into operating IT load.

Operating-source reconciliation and publication controls

Strict operating source coverage

  • Atomic Data: 1 strict physical record
  • CenterSquare: 1 strict physical record
  • 511 Building carrier hotel: 1 strict physical record
  • DataBank: 3 strict physical records
  • EdgeConneX: 1 strict physical record
  • Flexential: 1 strict physical record
  • H5 Data Centers: 1 strict physical record
  • LightEdge: 1 strict physical record
  • T5 Data Centers: 1 strict physical record
  • US Signal: 1 strict physical record
  • Vaultas: 2 strict physical records

Controls retained

  • The 511 Building is counted once as a physical carrier-hotel building; Cologix, DataBank MSP4, Atomic MSP511 and Vaultas Minneapolis remain provider/suite presences.
  • Vaultas St. Cloud is treated as operational because current first-party material supersedes the older licensed discovery status.
  • CloudHQ Chaska is preliminary approval only because the City states the final site plan/plat application has not been submitted.
  • Farmington Technology Park remains land/PUD/infrastructure context because no current specific development proposal application is established.
  • All 32 licensed discovery rows remain separate from strict canonical counts.
  • SF 4298 and HF 5125 are introduced proposals and are not enacted law.
