Is a Data Center Coming

Washington County, OR

Crane PDX01/PDX02 Data Center Campus

Crane Data Centers. Under construction, 100 MW

Crane Data Centers, working with Principal Real Estate Investors, is building a two building, roughly 100 megawatt data center campus on 35 acres near Neal Armstrong Middle School in Forest Grove, about eight miles from Hillsboro. City staff and the planning commission approved the project in 2024 despite heavy resident turnout at hearings, and after a resident's appeal the Forest Grove City Council upheld the approval in October 2024, with construction underway on the first building by August 2025. When Forest Grove's city council unanimously passed a 120 day moratorium on new data center applications and large expansions at a special meeting on October 12, 2026, it explicitly exempted Crane's already-under-construction site from the pause.
