To maintain operability, data centers demand abundant amounts of low-cost power, reliable infrastructure, mild weather, low-risk seismic zoning, buried power lines and reasonably priced Greenfield land. Since 2006, these criteria have made the city of Quincy, Washington an ideal location for farming, food processing and data centers. Located in Grant County, the largest potato producing county in the United States, the city of Quincy is home to over 60 megawatts (MW) of server farms for Microsoft, Dell, Yahoo!, Intuit and others.
