What’s coming to Durham

These aren’t ordinary warehouses. Hyperscale data centers draw megawatts of power and millions of gallons of water, and lock in decades of tax abatements — deals whose effects reach far beyond Durham — here’s where the power and water go. Counts cover facilities tracked closest to Durham (within ~15 km), so nearby towns share the same grid and watershed. Know of one that’s missing? Help us map it.
