HR Ranch Road datacenter construction

Microsoft is building a datacenter on HR Ranch Road located in the greater Cheyenne, WY area.

Why datacenters are needed

Datacenters provide the physical infrastructure for the technology we depend on at work and in our personal lives. Whenever you open an app on your phone, join a virtual classroom or meeting, snap and save photos, or play a game with your friends online, you are using a datacenter. Local businesses, government, hospitals, and schools rely on datacenters every day to deliver goods and services to you.

Construction overview

Microsoft has contracted with JE Dunn as the general contractor for HR Ranch Road construction site in Cheyenne, WY. Construction is expected to continue for approximately 18–24 months, with heavy earthwork anticipated from July 2025 through November 2025 and overall completion targeted for early 2026. Completion of construction does not indicate datacenter operation/availability.

Construction will take place Monday through Saturday, 7:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.

Neighbors within the vicinity will be notified ahead of construction. A community meeting is planned for November 2025.
