Meta Prineville Campus
Meta's data center campus in Prineville has 11 buildings totaling 4.6 million square feet, first began construction in 2010, has expanded multiple times, and represents approximately $2 billion in investment, with Milestone Technologies laying off 66 workers there on June 28, 2026 due to contract expiration. It is reported; the record holds no sourced date for when it reached that stage.
How much power it needs, how much water it would use and who would use it have not been disclosed.
How to read this page. Every fact links to the source it rests on; a number in brackets is its place in the source list. A figure no source gives reads Not disclosed, and nothing is estimated. Where sources give different figures, each is shown with who gave it, and another source's figure never stands in for the record's own. Entries are added and never overwritten; corrections are listed under What happened.

The developer's figure is what the company said; what a permit allows is the ceiling a permit sets; measured means observed. Water is in gallons a day or a year, whichever the source stated; a tax claim given as a range shows both ends, each linked to the source that gave it.
