The Maricopa County Board of Supervisors gave the “green light” to Project Baccara, a massive data center complex near Luke Air Force Base, near Glendale and Surprise, despite strong opposition from surrounding neighbors and businesses.
Supervisor Steve Gallardo was the only one to vote against a military compatibility permit for Project Baccara.
A number of angry residents walked out of the Board of Supervisors meeting Wednesday after the decision was announced.
The $36 billion development will include two 1-million-square-foot data centers and a 700-megawatt generating station.
