Meta is set to build a nearly 1 million-square-foot data center in Kuna, Idaho, with an $800 million investment, slated to open in late 2026. The project, part of the Gemstone Technology Park, has sparked mixed reactions among locals regarding economic benefits versus potential farmland loss. Additionally, Meta is advancing its Hyperion project in Louisiana, projected to be its largest data center, reflecting a trend of increased data center development in the southern U.S. due to lower costs and rising demand.
