DeForest, Wisconsin, halted a $12B QTS data center project due to infeasibility, transparency concerns, and community opposition.
The village of DeForest, Wisconsin, has decided not to proceed with a proposed $12 billion data center project by QTS, citing infeasibility and misalignment with long-term planning goals.
Village staff recommended rejecting the annexation of 1,600 acres from Vienna, a key hurdle, and anticipate QTS will withdraw its development applications, canceling a scheduled public hearing.
The decision follows revelations that staff had worked on the project for months before its public announcement, raising questions about transparency.
While QTS cited shifting priorities and community concerns, it reaffirmed its commitment to research partnerships in Wisconsin.
The pause reflects broader scrutiny of large-scale data center developments amid local resistance over environmental and infrastructure impacts.
