How much water it would use, also reported: 124,000 gallons a year, 2026 (WyomingNews.com: Skybox's existing data center in Austin, Texas, used around 124,000 gallons of water over the past year) .

Jobs once it runs, also reported: 350 to 500 jobs, 2026 (WyomingNews.com: Skybox expects the campus will eventually employ around 350 to 500 full time workers across three shifts) .

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.

Still not public, and where it would show up

The record adds each the day a source gives it. Why these documents.

  • Water useA state water right filing or a water supply agreement.
  • Who would use itA lease announcement or a tenant named in a filing.
  • Power the campus would drawA utility or public service commission docket, an interconnection filing, or an air permit for an on site plant.
  • Jobs and taxAn incentive agreement, a county's economic development filing or a fiscal note.

What was decided

Acts of Laramie County and Cheyenne about data centers, on the record with their source. A rule about the area is not a decision about this record.
