A developer is moving forward with the first phase of a data center project, valued at $4 billion. The project aims to build a 1,100-acre data center near Valley International Airport. As part of the project, the company, Fluidstack, has requested to discharge stormwater runoff into a major city-owned canal. The company has offered to pay $20 million to the city if the request is granted and has also proposed funding a $7 million project to widen the canal.

Further details about the project are expected to be discussed at a town hall meeting, where residents can express their concerns. The city commissioners' decision on the request may depend on the outcome of this meeting. More information about the project and its progress can be found through the original source.
