Net positive neighbor approach
Project Horizon is designed to be a good neighbor. The campus sits well away from homes and businesses, keeps its lighting to dark-sky standards, cools in a sealed loop that draws no city water, and generates its own power behind the meter, so day to day it puts no load on the local grid.
We are as deliberate about people as about land. The build brings thousands of jobs, staffed and trained locally, with housing provided so that neither construction nor operations distorts the local market, and we invest directly in the town itself.
- Remote location
We site campuses away from homes and businesses, and design for low noise and dark skies.
30 miles from town, no homes or businesses nearby, lighting beyond the McDonald Observatory’s dark-sky standards.
- Workforce & Housing
We build and invest in housing and training wherever we build.
Purpose-built housing for construction workers, subsidized permanent homes from 2027, training with Midland College’s WRTTC and Fort Stockton ISD.
- Natural Resources
Closed-loop, low-consumption cooling that draws on no city water and adds no daily load to the local grid.
Permitted ranch wells, no city potable water.
- Community Investment
We invest in the communities we build in.
Gold-member sponsor of the Chamber of Commerce, supporter of the Fort Stockton Historical Society.
- Economic Benefits
We create local jobs, through the build and beyond.
During construction, the project will support thousands of construction jobs over the multi-year build-out, relying on an engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) contractor and regional subcontractors. Once operational, the campus is expected to support several hundred full-time employees and contractors that are designed to be staffed predominantly from the regional and local labor market.
- Education
We build local skills for technical careers.
PIC is exploring partnerships with local educational institutions, including Midland College’s Williams Regional Technical Training Center (WRTTC) Fort Stockton campus, to provide technical training programs for local residents for data center operations roles covering electrical, mechanical, HVAC, and facility operations.
