Compal to Build Server Factory in Taylor, Texas Amid Data Center Opposition
DATA AND AI INFRASTRUCTURE
Compal USA Technology plans to establish a server factory in Taylor, Texas, with a nearly $66 million lease and a total investment of $200 million. This decision follows significant resistance to data center projects in the area.
The factory aims to support the growing demand for servers amidst a backlash against data centers due to environmental concerns. Compal's Taylor facility, which is part of a broader expansion of its server operations, was chosen after considering global options. The project is expected to create numerous jobs and has faced minimal opposition compared to local data center initiatives.
