Is a Data Center Coming

Wright County, MN

Monticello Tech Park (Scannell Properties)

Scannell Properties. Filed. 150 MW.

Indianapolis based Scannell Properties wants to build a roughly 1.3 million square foot data center on about 106 acres near the Bertram Chain of Lakes Regional Park in Monticello, Wright County, with a planned capacity of about 150 megawatts. The proposal is one of two competing data center plans reported for Monticello and remains in early stages, requiring annexation, an environmental review, and city approval before it could move forward. Monticello has since adopted a new ordinance setting restrictions that open a path for data centers to be built under specific conditions.
