"Nebius announced that the Independence City Council in Missouri had approved its Chapter 100 industrial development incentive plan. The green light clears the way for construction of the company's largest U.S. "AI factory" to date - a multi-building hyperscale campus on roughly 400 acres near Kansas City. The project carries potential capacity of up to 1.2 gigawatts (GW), enough to power hundreds of thousands of homes or, more relevantly, tens of thousands of next-generation GPUs."
"Features include closed-loop cooling that limits water use to levels comparable to a large office building, advanced noise-abatement technology, and commitments to local hiring. The initial phase alone represents a multi-billion-dollar investment, expected to create about 1,200 construction jobs and roughly 130 permanent high-tech positions."
"The latest milestone cements its status as a major contender, positioning the company for accelerated growth as AI demand continues to outstrip supply in a power-constrained world."
Nebius Group, spun from Yandex's international operations, designs and operates high-density GPU clusters and data centers for AI training and inference workloads. The company has established hundreds of megawatts of operational and contracted capacity across Europe while expanding into the U.S. market. Independence City Council in Missouri approved Nebius's Chapter 100 industrial development incentive plan, enabling construction of its largest U.S. AI factory near Kansas City. The 400-acre hyperscale campus will feature up to 1.2 gigawatts of capacity, supporting tens of thousands of next-generation GPUs. The project includes closed-loop cooling technology, noise abatement systems, and local hiring commitments. Initial phase construction will generate approximately 1,200 jobs with 130 permanent positions, with power delivery beginning in the second half of 2026.
