The West Des Moines City Council will vote today on a series of delays in the completion dates for Microsoft Corp.’s data farm that will be located west of Interstate 35 in portions of Warren and Madison counties. The project has triggered the massive buildout of streets and other infrastructure improvements, including a bridge over the Raccoon River that eventually will provide a southwest link from Iowa Highway 5 to I-35 and Interstate 80 via Veterans and Grand Prairie parkways. They are projects with completion dates that were moved ahead by decades thanks to the Microsoft project, which could have a final cost of several billion dollars. In a letter to the IEDA board in November, a Microsoft representative requested a change in date for completion of the first 216,000-square-foot data center to July 2021 from July 2020 because of “updates in the design and engineering” for the project. In all, Microsoft is expected to build more than 1 billion square feet of data centers over five phases. The City Council will vote to move the completion of phase one to July 2021, phase two to Dec. 20, 2022, phase three to June 30, 2024, phase four to Dec. 30, 2025, and phase five to June 30, 2027. Microsoft has been approved for more than $4 million in state incentives for phase one, which is expected to create 57 jobs. By the end of the project, Microsoft plans a total of 97 jobs. The company has two other data farms in various stages of construction in West Des Moines.
