The new facility will be located on 393 acres off NW H K Dodgen Loop and Industrial Blvd., and will support approximately 1,250 construction workers onsite during peak construction, which will begin in Spring 2022.
"Temple is the home of our newest data center, and we are excited to join the community," said Darcy Nothnagle, director of community and economic development at Meta. "We've been welcomed by a strong set of local partners who are committed to the long-term success of the region. This is just the beginning of a strong partnership, and we look forward to working with you to invest in this great community."
Meta's data centers use 32% less energy, have achieved net zero carbon emissions, are LEED Gold level certified and are 80% more water-efficient on average than industry standard, with a goal to restore more water than they consume by 2030, according to company officials.
