Seven years later, Apple data center in Iowa finally opens
Begun in 2017, Apple's $1.3 billion data center in Waukee, Iowa, has at last opened — at least partially.
In the case of Waukee in Dallas County, Iowa, Tim Cook himself gave a speech about it in 2017, saying that he hoped Apple would help the local community. Then in August 2024, Apple applied to the city for permission to rehabilitate some of the land it bought, aiming to create a wetland restoration area around the data center. Apple has reportedly also said it will contribute $350,000 per year toward a debt repayment program, but that depends on whether residents approve plans at the November 5 election.
