The city of Chandler is set to take action this week on a data center project that’s been touted by former U.S. Sen. Kyrsten Sinema.
The project has garnered higher attention after Sinema appeared at a planning and zoning meeting urging the city to push the project forward.
The fate of the AI data center project by New York-based developer Active Infrastructure depends on how the Chandler City Council votes Thursday.
The council has two related items on the agenda, a zoning ordinance and a developer agreement that sets up terms for Active Infrastructure.
Sinema reportedly got wind of the project through her employer, global law firm Hogan Lovells. The firm is working on another data center project with Active Infrastructure in a different market.
The site currently holds buildings that were made for Orbital Sciences back in the '80s.
It’s near a wastewater treatment plant which CEO of Active Infrastructure Jeff Zygler says makes it a good site for a data center.
