The Pinal County Planning and Zoning Commission tonight voted 6-2 to approve a land-use amendment for 500 acres south of Maricopa, paving the way for a proposed data center campus along Porter Road.
Tempe-based W Holdings, the applicant, described the planned Energy Generation and Technology Campus as an “important investment” in Pinal County’s economic growth. The project narrative says the facility would “store, process, manage and distribute vast quantities of data while ensuring secure and reliable access.”
The site lies between White-and-Parker and Smith Roads, straddling Porter Road about 4 miles south of Maricopa’s city limits, bordering the Ak-Chin Indian Community.
