Current canonical record

This record tracks Karis Critical - Dubuque County Data Center in Iowa.

Karis, a Florida-based real estate company with a Karis Critical data center platform, contacted Dubuque County in mid-May 2026 about a potential project east of Dubuque Regional Airport and contacted the City of Dubuque about water and sanitary sewer connections. No formal application had been submitted as of July 10, 2026. Public records reported by KCRG indicate the potential data center would require up to 3 million gallons of water to initially charge a closed-loop cooling system and up to 250,000 gallons annually for operations. Dubuque County approved a 12-month data center moratorium on May 26, 2026, so the project is subject to the moratorium and ordinance process.
