Is a Data Center Coming

Sioux County, IA

PathOne Data Center (Former Bison Plant Site)

PathOne Data Centers. On hold, 10 MW

PathOne Data Centers and Sunstone Investments want to build a roughly 40,000 square foot, 10 to 15 megawatt data center on the old Bison Plant site about two miles southwest of Hull, under a one year moratorium that has been in effect in unincorporated Sioux County since June 16, 2026. The Sioux County Board of Supervisors approved a first reading on September 29, 2026 of an ordinance that would cap new data centers at 25 megawatts, require closed loop cooling, and bar the use of private wells, with a second reading set for October 13 and a possible third and final reading on October 27, 2026. PathOne has said it would not seek a local property tax abatement and held a public meeting in Hull on August 25, 2026 even though the moratorium remained in effect.

What it would mean nearby

The cooling design has not been reported. If it uses evaporative cooling, a 10 MW facility would draw roughly 32,000 to 114,000 gallons of water a day, about what 400 households use.
