Metrobloks plans to build a data center campus near Kansas City, Missouri. The company announced this week that it will invest $1.4 billion in a campus in Liberty, a city north of Kansas City in Clay County.
The three-building campus will total 568,800 sq ft (52,770 sqm), though full project timelines have not been disclosed. Local reports indicate Metrobloks is developing the site on 29 acres at 2515 Old Hughes Road, receiving planning approval for the first 177,000 sq ft (16,443 sqm), two-story building in December, and city bonds earlier this month.
"Metrobloks is proud to expand in Liberty, where we found the ideal combination of infrastructure, talent, and community partnership to support our next phase of growth," said Ernest Popescu, CEO of Metrobloks. "This investment reflects our confidence in the Liberty area as a rising digital economy and innovation hub, and we look forward to building a facility here in the Kansas City region that delivers long-term value for both our customers and the community."
"Missouri continues to compete and win on a global stage, and Metrobloks' $1.4 billion investment in Clay County is a powerful example of that momentum," added Missouri Governor Mike Kehoe. "This project brings 30 high-quality jobs while strengthening our state's position as a leader in next-generation infrastructure. We are proud to support innovative companies choosing Missouri to grow, invest, and create opportunity for our communities."
