Wall Street Journal: “The AI Data-Center Boom Is Coming to America's Heartland”


This WSJ article highlights growing demand for artificial intelligence looking to rural areas for suitable locations. These massive facilities require substantial land with a reliable water source, power and high-capacity transmission lines. These lines are vital for the immense power these facilities require. LandFund Partners owns nearly 10,000 acres with access to reliable water and transmission lines.


Comment from LFP Founder and CEO, John Farris on the topic: 

"It is not a coincidence that both Elon Musk (xAI) and Mark Zuckerburg (Meta) have determined to locate their state of the art artificial intelligence data centers in the middle of our target region. These mega AI data centers need reliable water to act as a cooling agent in their facilities. This proves once again that owning land with water provides investors with upside optionality."
