Google's $10 billion Project Mica in Northland will feature five data center buildings, with the first phase projected to last 18 months. The company will cover energy costs through an agreement with Evergy, qualifying for the Large Load Power Tariff.

Project Mica allocates $1.75 million in workforce funding, including contributions to the Smithville School District and Northland Career Center. The campus is expected to require up to 500 megawatts of energy, with nearby substation support.

KC Water will assess water usage needs before service approval. The project now moves from bond approval to active development.
