State board Oks grant to help land data center

The State Loan and Investment Board has approved a $5 million grant to help bring a proposed $112 million data center to Cheyenne. Cheyenne is 1 of 2 finalists in the Rocky Mountain region for the data center. State officials have declined to identify the company behind the project, but they say it is a Fortune 100 firm. The state board approved the $5 million grant on Monday. Gov. Matt Mead says he's willing to provide another $5 million in state money to help land the center, bringing the state's total possible contribution to $10 million. The money would be used to help pay for infrastructure costs if Cheyenne is chosen.
