• City leaders and local stakeholders help launch construction of multi-building campus that supports 1,000+ jobs, sizable tax revenues, and area education programs.

Nebius (NASDAQ:NBIS), the AI cloud company, today broke ground on its flagship AI factory campus in Independence, Missouri – the company's first gigawatt-scale digital infrastructure project in the US.

Construction of the first phase of the AI factory is now underway. In both the construction and operation phases, Nebius has put in place intentional design measures to minimize impact at a local level, including by minimizing water use, containing noise and light, and protecting ratepayers.

Creating approximately 1,200 construction jobs – overwhelmingly drawn from local union building trades – and 130 permanent high-tech positions at full operation, Nebius' Independence investment is also expected to generate $650 million in tax payments to local school districts and taxing jurisdictions over the next 20 years.
