The Sioux Falls City Council is set to vote on a proposal for a 160-acre data center by Gemini of South Dakota LLC, requiring public utility easements before annexation. The project, anticipated to create between 50 and 500 jobs, hinges on legislative tax incentives, with a related bill proposed for the 2026 South Dakota Legislative Session. Additionally, Applied Digital is proposing a multibillion-dollar data center in Deuel County, which could generate 200 jobs and raise concerns about local resource impacts.
