Liberty Approves First Data Center Project: Metrobloks to Build 177,000 sq. ft. Facility on 29 Acres

Liberty has given the green light to its first data center project, a two-story building of 177,000 square feet by Metrobloks. The project, located at 2515 Old Hughes Road, is the first of three structures planned. While city leaders have approved the project, building permits have not yet been submitted. Mayor Greg Canuteson hailed it as the largest investment in Libertys history, estimated between $1.5 billion and $8 billion. However, some residents have raised concerns about potential higher utility costs and strain on resources. Officials assure that the setup uses less power and a closed-loop water system, with Metrobloks covering all power upgrades to Evergy. The project is expected to be ready by the end of the year, focusing on sustainability.
