PUBLIC MEETING THIS WEEK FOR PROJECT BLUE - Learn more about Project Blue during a community information meeting Wednesday, July 23, from 5-7 p.m., at Mica Mountain High School, 10800 E. Valencia Road. The parking lot for the meeting opens at 4:30 p.m. Do not arrive before that time. School is in session and students and faculty need to depart the lot before the meeting. Project Blue identified Tucson as a potential location for a data center due to its location near major markets, such as Phoenix, Los Angeles, and Las Vegas, making it a prime hub for interconnectivity between major population centers. The proposed site is a 290-acre parcel west of Houghton Road and north of Brekke Road (just north of the Pima County Fairgrounds). To learn more about the project, follow the links below.
