Opinion: Data centers on our terms— let’s write the Mat-Su Data Center Plan together

First published on the author’s personal Substack, November 11, 2026. Data centers are coming to Alaska, and the Mat-Su is near the front of the line. In March the Borough Assembly put borough staff to work marketing land near Port MacKenzie, Big Lake and the West Susitna corridor for a coal developer looking for a data center customer. In late May that same developer leased 829 acres of University of Alaska land inside the borough’s own port district. On Nov. 10 the state approved handing about 6,800 acres near Houston to AIDEA for an industrial district that could include data centers.
