Located 50 miles south of Minneapolis. Environmental and Planning Commissions unanimously recommended approval in August 2025. Minnesota Center for Environmental Advocacy filed lawsuit challenging adequacy of environmental review. On June 8, 2026, the Minnesota Court of Appeals ruled Faribault's environmental review for the proposed Archer Datacenters project was inadequate and required a more complete and transparent analysis before the project can proceed on that record. Reporting describes the project as up to 500,000 square feet and up to 120 MW.
