NextEra Energy Data Center Land Option (Garden Plain)
NextEra Energy. Rumored
NextEra Energy, the nation's largest electricity company and a recent Google data center development partner, has signed option agreements giving it exclusive purchase rights on nearly 800 acres between 311th and 279th streets west, off 21st Street North, near Garden Plain in Sedgwick County. Sedgwick County has extended its data center moratorium a third time, through December 24, 2026, and as of late September 2026 the county said it had received no formal zoning application from either NextEra or Monarch. A public hearing on the county's draft data center regulations remains set for November 12, 2026, with commissioners aiming to adopt final rules by a December 16 meeting.
