TAX REVENUE

This project is expected to generate significant tax revenue for Farmington that can be spent on schools, parks, public safety and other community needs.

HIGH-PAYING DATA CENTER JOBS

Employing not just IT engineers, but also security guards, electricians, and technicians. Many of these jobs can be filled by residents of Farmington and the surrounding areas. Data centers also indirectly create many additional jobs by supporting local businesses.

PROTECTING FARMINGTON'S RESOURCES

Tract has conducted studies to identify any potential impacts to cultural and environmental resources. No cultural resources were identified on site. The floodplain on the south side of the campus and the existing wetlands adjacent to 220th St. will not be impacted with this proposed development.

MINIMAL COMMUNITY IMPACT

The technology park’s traffic activity is less than residential or industrial development, and significantly less than logistics and distribution centers. The developer will pay for the costs of any road improvements associated with this campus.

The Tract Team

Tract is the trusted partner for planning responsible technology infrastructure. We create opportunities that bring economic development to communities.

As the world’s technological needs continue to grow, Tract provides proactive planning solutions to meet these essential capacity goals with speed and certainty. We work with data-center operators, local communities, landowners, and energy and technology companies to streamline a horizontal approach that aligns interests and priorities for opportunities that benefit everyone.

We believe that master planned development projects must be strategically coordinated with long-term vision and commitments. Our team brings together curated, operational capabilities and essential expertise in planning, development, energy, digital infrastructure, and real estate to achieve end-to-end coordination with our partners.

The concept and execution of our business is built on the culmination of decades of exposure and experience of every facet of the digital infrastructure economy. We are proud to have more than 200 collective years of multi-faceted experience in engineering, constructing and operating telecommunications, data networking, and data center infrastructure.

We are here to listen: Kristin Dean will be your main point of contact, but any of your dedicated team shown below are available to answer your questions and we look forward to meeting and getting to know you.

The Development Process

Tract is committed to working with communities through the development process. The rezoning application now includes a Planned Unit Development Overlay which allows for more information about the vision of the project to be shown and discussed with the community.

There will be several opportunities for additional public input including a community meeting and public hearings with the Planning Commission and City Council.

When meeting dates are set, the website will be updated.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a master-planned technology campus?

Tract's technology campuses will house data centers and are thoughtfully designed and intentionally planned to provide the maximum economic benefit to communities with the least disruption. We work with communities, municipalities, and utility companies to ensure everyone is involved through every step of the process.

Do you build data centers?

Tract does not build data centers. Rather, we acquire and prepare the land so that data center operators can easily and quickly build the data centers we need to support our daily lives. Data centers store data and applications so businesses, hospitals, banks, and more can safely store and process their and their users’ data. When you shop or bank online, store photos on the cloud, or run any streaming service, you rely on a data center.
