Coming in 2025. Looks to bring in around 1200 people for construction but actual employees doesn't look to be that many on the site itself just looking at the renderings.

I swear every time I drive to Kuna, another corn field is for sale or gone.  It's like all the old timers passed on and their kids want out with $ and no work.
 
Sad really.

I was thinking cheap water. But taxes are probably part of it too.

One article I read said they got some pretty sweet incentives.

My only hope is they sucker some poor cybersecurity saps away from some other companies and there are openings.

I need a new job in the worst way, but I wouldn't work for them.

They are going to drop 50 million into upgrading Kuna’s sewer system as well.

How involved were Kuna residents in this process?

If you guys know where CS Beef Packers is located, this new site will be in that general area. Basically in the middle of the desert and away from the actual city of Kuna.

Pretty sure no one is worried about the loss of desert land around Kuna.  Everyone is worred about the degenerates it will attract.

This.

What type of people will be working there ??

Silicon Valley democrats.....or god-fearing gun-loving conservatives ??

 Probably a mix of each.......with some libertarians mixed in too.


 And I'm sure Kuna home prices just went up another 10% because of this.

Says 100 employees at the facility so can’t be that many. Most will probably facilities and network guys. Those usually aren’t woke.

Most network guys are gun nuts.  Not sure why that is, but it is probably they self selected to minimize interactions with end users.

There is that, but not all IT people are the same.

The IT world is kinda like King of The Hill.

Sysadmins are like Hank Hill "WSUS, I tell you what. I manage GPOs and GPO accessories. "
Peggy Hill is a PM.  "I know better!"
Strickland is head of the PMO office. "I got an infarction that is impacting my timeline!" and "Who's your daddy!?!?!"
AIX admins are Cotton. "We don't need no fancy domains to manage our systems when we ain't got no shins!"
Database admins are Boomhaurer "I tell you what man, dang ole network messed with my schema man, like bing bang click boom."
Bobby is a developer.  "I don't owe you! That's my plugin!"
Luanne is a web developer.  No comment.  
Bill is desktop support.  "I'm so depressed".
Dale Gribble is a network guy.  "Errmagahhad, that traffic is legit!".  Some people at the local gun club start out like Dale.  Then they become security people.  These people make Dale nervous.  These people call Dale a fudd.

All the money they are sinking into the city infrastructure worries me a lot more than the 100 or so employees that will end up there. They will basically have the city by the balls and they will almost certainly leverage that for political influence.

They’re paying for the infrastructure for the purposed industrial complex where this data center will be built. It does not tie into any existing city of Kuna infrastructure and once completed, the city will run the remote cite.
