Hallam Data Center Zoning Challenge

Monolith is seeking approval for a 35-megawatt data center at its existing Olive Creek industrial facility near Hallam, Nebraska, along with additional carbon black units.

The proposal requires changes to Industrial 2 zoning and site approval, while residents are seeking more information about noise, lighting, traffic, water effects, and the possibility of broader development. The project’s timeline and eventual design remain subject to local review, including discussion of air-cooled or closed-loop cooling systems.
