Cloverleaf Infrastructure data centers: 7 sites mapped

Cloverleaf Infrastructure, based in Houston, is a powered land developer: it does not run data centers itself, but readies sites with grid access and sells them to companies that do. It says it has sold projects able to support more than 7 gigawatts, including sites in Wisconsin for Oracle and OpenAI, and Nvidia took a minority stake in the company in 2026. Its sites have repeatedly drawn local opposition, most recently in Wisconsin, Oklahoma and Kansas.

In Brown County, Wisconsin, Cloverleaf offered landowners in the village of Greenleaf $50,000 to $120,000 an acre for a data center site, then dropped the plan after residents and a local winery objected; LedgeStone Vineyards called it an "attack" on the community by a "nameless, faceless, megacorporation." On August 11, 2026, voters in the nearby Village of Wrightstown were asked in an advisory referendum whether the village should support public improvements tied to a large data center project; 87 percent voted no. "They definitely came out at our meetings," village administrator Travis Coenen said.

Cloverleaf's current fight is in Piedmont, Oklahoma, where it wants about 630 acres north of the city rezoned for Project Open Sky, a campus with 1,000 megawatts of planned IT capacity that the company says would need about 1.5 gigawatts of total power once cooling and other systems are counted. In June 2026 the Piedmont Planning Commission recommended the city council deny the rezoning after a meeting packed with residents. Chief development officer Aaron Bilyeu told the commission the cooling system "circulates water like the radiator in your car" and said data centers "are not noisy." "It's coming to Piedmont. And it's frustrating," resident Rodney Jones said. The council was scheduled to decide on September 28, 2026; no result has been published.

Cloverleaf has also pulled back elsewhere. In Dundee Township, Michigan, it withdrew its agreement for a 750-acre site in October 2025 after resident protests. In Leavenworth County, Kansas, it has discussed Project Bluestem, a nearly 1,000-acre campus near Tonganoxie, with county commissioners, though no official filings have been made and many residents raised concerns in public comment.
