Olive Creek Data Center

Monolith and Crusoe’s planned 35-megawatt data center at the Olive Creek site near Hallam is a modular, co-located facility subject to local zoning and permit review.

Residents and officials have considered issues including noise, water use, cooling systems, battery storage, emergency planning, and effects on the area’s rural character. The village board approved a special-use permit, while the agreement includes construction and operational payments, annual community contributions for 10 years, and support for the volunteer fire department. The project illustrates how local oversight and community commitments shape the development of data-center infrastructure.
