Is a Data Center Coming

Benton County, WA

Atlas Agro Data Center Campus (Horn Rapids)

Atlas Agro North America. Approved.

Zero carbon fertilizer company Atlas Agro wants to build five data center buildings of about 500,000 square feet each, a 500 million dollar project, on 275 acres at 2100 Horn Rapids Road next to its planned 1.5 billion dollar Richland fertilizer plant in the Northwest Advanced Clean Energy Park. The Richland City Council unanimously approved a nonrefundable 250,000 dollar option agreement with Atlas Agro on December 2, 2025, giving the city time to evaluate a roughly 24 million dollar land sale before a final purchase is required. Atlas Agro says it would supply its own power through a new Bonneville Power Administration connection and hopes to start construction in 2027.
