Is a Data Center Coming

Maricopa County, AZ

Chandler AI Data Center (Active Infrastructure proposal)

Active Infrastructure. Denied.

Chandler's City Council voted 7-0 on December 11, 2025 to reject a proposed AI data center from New York-based developer Active Infrastructure after hours of public opposition citing noise, water use and quality-of-life concerns. The vote drew national attention as an early example of a Phoenix-area city outright denying a data center project.
