A data center is an industrial facility that houses computer servers and related equipment used to store, process, and transmit digital information. It is not a manufacturing facility and it does not manufacture physical goods. A data center functions more like a secured warehouse filled with computers, supported with electrical systems, cooling equipment, and backup power systems that keep them operating reliably.

No. A data center is not currently under construction in Page. City Council approved Ordinance 744-25, a land sale agreement that establishes a feasibility period for a potential future project. No construction, zoning, utilities, or development approvals have been granted. Any future project would require separate development approvals.

City Council approved Ordinance 744-25, a land sale agreement that establishes a feasibility period and a framework for a possible future construction of a data center. The ordinance did not approve a data center, did not approve development, and did not approve zoning or utilities. Any future project would require separate development approvals.

The potential site is not located at or adjacent to Horseshoe Bend. Under the land sale agreement, the developer will be evaluating potential locations during the feasibility period, and a future site could be located anywhere within the approximately 500 acres of City-owned land defined in the land sale agreement, on the south-west side of Page near Highway 98.

No. The City has not committed to a specific design, size, or final site. Under the land sale agreement, the developer is completing feasibility reviews, including the evaluation of specific sites, design options, and potential utility sources. Many future project details will be subject to separate development review and approvals.

The City has not committed any municipal water source to a data center project. The developer is responsible for securing and demonstrating a lawful and sustainable water supply. No water source, quantity, or delivery method has been approved.

There is no approval or agreement for a data center to use Lake Powell water. Any claims that water would come from Lake Powell are speculative at this time. No water source has been identified.

The City has not committed to providing power for a data center. The developer is responsible for identifying and securing its own power solution, whether through existing infrastructure, new generation, or a combination of approaches, subject to coordination with utilities and regulatory approval. The agreement does not obligate the City to supply power or subsidize infrastructure.

At this time, there is no approved agreement or information indicating that local utility rates would increase as a result of this project. Utility impacts would be analyzed as part of formal reviews. Claims about rate increases are not based on any approved City action.

Data centers can generate operational sound, primarily from cooling equipment. Sound levels are evaluated at the property line and must comply with applicable City noise standards. Data centers do not involve industrial manufacturing processes, and any future facility would be subject to environmental, building, and operational regulations.

No lighting plan has been approved. Any future proposal would be reviewed for compatibility with the City’s applicable lighting and development regulations. Exterior lighting would be evaluated during the rezoning and permitting process to ensure it is appropriately designed, limited to operational needs, and minimizes off-site impacts.

No job numbers have been approved or guaranteed. Data centers typically involve construction-phase employment and a smaller permanent operational workforce, along with supporting services such as security and maintenance. Any employment estimates discussed publicly by developers are not commitments by the City.

NDAs are commonly used during early economic development discussions to protect proprietary business information while a project is being evaluated. The NDA did not approve a project, bypass public process, or override Arizona public records laws. All final decisions must occur in public meetings in compliance with state law.

Yes. The agreement includes specific milestones and conditions that must be met before development can proceed. If those conditions are not satisfied within the required timeframes, the project cannot move forward, and the City has the contractual right to repurchase the property at the original sale price. Prior to construction, separate development approvals, including rezoning, and full compliance with City regulations are required. The rezoning process provides several opportunities for public input.

Many key decisions that have not been made. These include future zoning code amendments, general plan amendment and zoning approvals. Development standards such as setbacks and lot coverage, water source and cooling technology, power supply and infrastructure, and potential environmental, noise, and traffic impacts will be evaluated through formal development review processes before any construction could be authorized.

The City will continue to share verified, factual updates through official channels, including City Council agendas, public meetings, and the City’s website. Residents are encouraged to rely on City-issued communications rather than speculation or unverified claims.
