Updates, newest first

  1. Oct. 1, 2025 Altoona said it had annexed and rezoned the land and approved a development agreement with Tract. (Altoona Now!, Oct. 1, 2025)
  2. Sept. 11, 2025 Tract said it had bought land in Iowa to prepare for more than 1 GW of data center capacity. (The Tech Capital, Sept. 11, 2025)

Conflicts and open questions

  • Dates of the annexation, rezoning and agreement votes were not found; the city's announcement gives only that they occurred.
  • No end user named.
