Rowan Green Data, a Houston and Portland, Ore.-based developer and infrastructure provider for hyperscale data centers across the United States, has plans to build a new 500-megawatt multi-tenant campus in Temple, Texas, pending final negotiations with Temple EDC, the City of Temple and Bell County.
The project will be undertaken in two phases, with the first phase hosting 200 megawatts. Rowan plans ultimately to invest $300 million, create 20 new, full-time positions and construct 135,000 square feet of new buildings and data center space. The facility will be located on 32 acres in southeast Temple in Synergy Park. The construction phase of the project is expected to employ 40 to 60 workers for approximately nine to 12 months. During the operational phase, the completed data center will employ 20 highly skilled data center engineers, networking technicians and operations specialists. This exciting development will be the newest addition to Temple's expanding tech landscape.
