ISSUES & BENEFITS
Economic Development
TS2 can help Boulder City secure its financial future. The battery storage and solar facility located on Boulder City Land would provide over $600,000 in annual lease payments to the City and roughly $700,000 in new annual revenue to the City from metering, plus millions in property and sales tax revenue over the first 20 years of operation. The data center buildings and other improvements located on federal would provide additional tax revenue to the City. This money would help the city maintain services residents rely on such as public safety, utilities, and road maintenance. TS2 would also bring hundreds of construction jobs and dozens of permanent technical positions, creating new opportunities for local jobs.
Infrastructure & Modernization
TS2 intends to invest in infrastructure upgrades that would benefit Boulder City. The project would spend more than $8 million on sewer improvements and would contribute funding toward a wastewater treatment plant that would return Boulder City’s treated effluent to Lake Mead, instead of allowing it to evaporate in the desert. TS2 also plans to build its own solar plus storage system on Boulder City land, adding more modern energy infrastructure to the industrial area.
Environmental Stewardship
TS2 plans include the use of closed‑loop air‑cooled systems that do not rely on evaporative cooling for its operations. Potable water would be used at the site for employee restrooms and kitchen areas. The facility built on federal land would be located over three miles from the nearest resident, in an area already surrounded by industrial uses such as a gravel pit and multiple energy projects. This location and design would help minimize noise, heat, and environmental impacts while supporting Boulder City’s sustainability goals.
Responsible Growth
TS2 intends to build the data center in the city’s long‑established industrial area in the El Dorado Valley — land zoned for energy resources. The project will commit to enforceable technology specific limits: requiring a noise study and mitigation plan that accounts for low frequency as well as generator noise with limits set at the nearest sensitive receptor rather than only at the property boundary.
