DATA AND AI INFRASTRUCTURE
Switch has acquired 176 acres in North Las Vegas' Apex Industrial Park for $85.5 million to expand its data center operations, following a $659 million bond sale for growth. This move comes amid scrutiny over water usage in the drought-stricken region, where Southern Nevada has banned evaporative cooling systems. Novva Data Centers also purchased nearly 205 acres in the same area, highlighting ongoing concerns about the environmental impact of data center developments.
