Is a Data Center Coming

Trammell Crow Data Center Proposal (Lewis and Clark Ranch)

Trammell Crow Company. Rumored.

Real estate developer Trammell Crow has spent about a year studying the feasibility of a large data center campus on part of the roughly 7,600 acre Lewis and Clark Ranch owned by Frank Tiegs LLC in West Richland, with talk of a deal covering as much as 1,000 acres next to an existing neighborhood. No formal application has been filed with the city, which would trigger a State Environmental Policy Act review before any approval, and officials estimate it could be up to a year before one is submitted. Residents have raised concerns about property values and resource use, while a cost recovery agreement with Benton Rural Electric Association has been discussed for power.
