Cox Ranch data center annexation and rezoning (Skybox Datacenters and ViaWest Group) approved after delay Postponed April 2026; approved 8-2 on Monday 28 September 2026 |
Skybox Datacenters and ViaWest Group | Cheyenne City Council | The Cox Ranch annexation for a data center campus was introduced in April 2026, drew public backlash and was unanimously postponed by the Cheyenne City Council until September. On Monday 28 September 2026 the council approved the annexation 8-2 on third and final reading and approved the accompanying zoning, allowing Skybox Datacenters and ViaWest Group to proceed. Residents criticized the city's handling of data center expansion at the meeting. |

Crux AI (Google-Blackstone venture) Cheyenne site delayed Reported 8 September 2026 |
Crux AI (Blackstone and Google joint venture) | Cheyenne | Bloomberg reported on 8 September 2026 that the Google and Blackstone cloud venture has hit delays at major data center locations intended to run Google's chips, among them a data center being developed in Cheyenne, Wyoming. Executives involved with the venture, reported internally as Project Braid, are described as having accepted that data center projects now carry roughly a 50% chance of meeting delivery dates, against about 90% three years ago, with organized opposition, switchgear supply shortages and skilled labor constraints cited as causes. The venture, publicly named Crux AI, was launched with an initial $5 billion equity commitment from Blackstone and targets a first 500 MW in 2027. This record captures a reported schedule delay, not a cancellation, and the parties have not confirmed a revised delivery date. |

Microsoft Highlands data center campus annexation (about 3,460 acres, south Cheyenne) litigation Annexation approved 13 July 2026; petitions filed September 2026 (one on 3 September); reported 25 September 2026 |
Microsoft | Laramie County District Court / City of Cheyenne | Laramie County homeowner Heather Madrid Donis filed two petitions in Laramie County District Court in September 2026 challenging the city's approval of the roughly 3,460-acre annexation for Microsoft's proposed 2.7 GW Highlands campus. One, filed 3 September, asks the court to void the 13 July annexation because the ordinance names U.S. Sen. Cynthia Lummis as landowner although Microsoft said it closed on the property 26 June; the other alleges the council violated the Open Meetings Act on 10 August when, after an executive session, it voted 8-1 to seek a court ruling on whether the annexation is subject to a referendum instead of acting on a petition with more than 3,000 signatures. The city declined to comment on ongoing litigation. |

Orchard Hills data center rezoning (Trammell Crow) other Denial recommended by Planning Commission 8 September 2026; council approved annexation and zoning on second reading and overruled the commission 28 September 2026; final votes scheduled 12 October 2026 |
Trammell Crow | City of Cheyenne | The Planning Commission recommended denial of the land-use map and rezoning amendments on 8 September 2026; the council held first reading and a public hearing without a vote on 14 September 2026, and the first annexation vote is set for 28 September 2026. On Monday 21 September 2026 the council's Public Services Committee recommended approval of the annexation and initial agricultural zoning on second reading, voted to amend the zoning map and to overrule the Planning Commission's denial of the future land-use map amendment, and postponed the land-use map item to align with the annexation process. The 162-acre site adjoins Meta's Cheyenne campus. The council did not take final action on 28 September 2026; Cowboy State Daily reported on 29 September 2026 that final votes on the 162-acre Orchard Hills annexation are scheduled for 12 October 2026. At the same 28 September meeting the council approved, 8-2 on third reading, the separate 1,260-acre Cox Ranch annexation and business park rezoning for a Skybox Data Centers and ViaWest Group data center. The Wyoming Tribune Eagle reported on 1 October 2026 that at the Monday 28 September 2026 meeting the council approved on second reading the annexation of the 162-acre site, its initial agricultural zoning and the change to light industrial zoning, and voted to overrule the Planning Commission's unanimous denial of the related future land-use map; the resolution changing the land-use designation was postponed to 12 October 2026 to align with the annexation. |

Project Jade (Crusoe and Tallgrass Cheyenne campus) restarted Crusoe pause statement 9 June 2026; campus presented by Google as Project Tembo 9 September 2026 |
Crusoe (data center) and Tallgrass (power); now Google as Project Tembo | Laramie County | On Tuesday 9 June 2026 Crusoe said that, at the request of its customer, it had paused development activities on Project Jade, the 1.8 GW campus it was developing with Tallgrass; Tallgrass confirmed Crusoe had demobilized and left the site months earlier and said its power work continued. Bloomberg, as relayed by TechRadar, reported that customers including Google had raised concerns over cost and construction time. The campus has since moved forward as Google's Project Tembo with Tallgrass, with four data center buildings instead of five (see site google-project-tembo-laramie-wy). |

What governs a data center in Wyoming
The policy layer for Wyoming lives in three companion references: the Wyoming Data Center Moratorium Tracker for every state measure and local moratorium on record, the Water Tracker for the water rules that touch a site, and the Grid Operator Watchlist for the large-load rules of the RTO or utility that decides whether it can energize.

Every state, one page each
Figures beside each state are named sites and blocked, delayed or restricted projects.
Seven references, one system
Capital, delay, policy, water, grid, permits and scarcity are one system seen from seven sides. Each reference is primary-sourced, refreshed on a schedule, and links into the others, so a project can be followed from the money committed to the docket that stopped it.
