Data centers are the critical infrastructure of our modern world, powering the internet and providing us with a digital foundation.

DATA CENTERS
in Our Daily Lives
Data Centers are the vital engine running our nation’s digital technology needs by storing and managing vast amounts of data needed for various operations across sectors such as telehealth, video conferencing, e-commerce, government services, education, and entertainment.
Every facet of daily life including healthcare and financial records, online streaming and shopping, as well as GPS routing and maps, run through a data center. Each time you pick up your phone to search the internet, send a message to family and friends, or scroll through social media, you are using a data center. Once completed, the data center at Cannon Falls Technology Park will play a key role in supporting the Midwest’s digital needs.
Why Cannon Falls?
The Midwest is a rapidly growing area of our country with increasing online digital needs. Additional data centers are necessary to keep up with demand. The proposed Cannon Falls Technology Park is an ideal site for a vital data center as it is both located in Minnesota and near Dakota Electric transmission lines capable of serving a high-tech facility.
