Facebook is investing $800 million to build a new state-of-the-art data center in Gallatin, TN. Once operational, the project is estimated to support approximately 100 jobs and will have more than 1,100 construction workers on site at peak. Construction is already underway on the 982,000-square-foot facility. The Facebook Gallatin Data Center will be among the most advanced, energy- and water- efficient data center facilities in the world. It will be supported by 100 percent renewable energy, will use 80 percent less water than the average, and, once completed, will be LEED Gold certified. Facebook has already partnered with Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) to bring 220 MW of new solar energy to the Tennessee Valley to support Facebook's operations in the region.
