</a>Independence, Missouri is the site of Nebius's first gigawatt-scale AI factory, a multi-building campus on roughly 400 acres in the eastern part of the city. The Independence City Council approved the project in March 2026, and Nebius held a groundbreaking ceremony in May 2026 with construction underway on the first phase. The company's own approval-stage release describes planned capacity of "up to 1.2 GW"; the facility will connect to Independence Power & Light and use closed-loop cooling design, though further technical specifics were not disclosed. Nebius projects around 1,200 construction jobs, mostly from local union trades, and 130 permanent high-tech positions once fully operational, alongside an estimated $650 million in tax revenue for local school districts and taxing jurisdictions over 20 years. Partners named in the announcements include NVIDIA, ARCO National Construction, Metropolitan Community College and the Missouri Partnership.
