White Cloud Acres Data Center (Scale Microgrids)
Scale Microgrids. Rumored, 600 MW
Scale Microgrids is proposing White Cloud Acres, a roughly 6.3 billion dollar AI data center along US Highway 71 about eight miles south of Maryville in Nodaway County, paired with a co-located 600 megawatt natural gas plant that a Scale subsidiary has applied to build. The company has only conditional agreements with landowners and has not yet named the hyperscale operator it expects to serve, though a county commissioner said in September 2026 that an announcement could be close. Nodaway County imposed a moratorium on data center development in July 2026, and residents opposed to the project organized as Nodaway Says No and gathered more than 7,000 petition signatures.

What it would mean nearby
The cooling design has not been reported. If it uses evaporative cooling, a 600 MW facility would draw roughly 1.9 million to 6.8 million gallons of water a day, about what 21,900 households use.
