Cielo Chisago County Data Center
Cielo Digital Infrastructure. Rumored. 300 MW.
Cielo Digital Infrastructure has floated a roughly 300 megawatt data center on about 157 acres in Chisago County, though no formal rezoning or permit application had been confirmed as filed. The Chisago County Board of Commissioners voted unanimously in August 2026 to enact a 12 month interim zoning moratorium on data center development so staff could study zoning, permitting, and utility capacity questions before any project could proceed. County officials describe the pause as precautionary rather than a response to one specific pending application.

What it would mean nearby
