Cloverleaf Infrastructure development of Building 1 at the Project Bluestem Hyperscale Campus inCloverleaf’s proposed Leavenworth County, Kansas. The advanced compute facility provides 240 MW of critical IT load across 400,000 square feet, connected to Evergy high-voltage transmission and engineered for low water consumption and scalable AI cluster deployments.County data center remains in rezoning review. Its separate initial power-generation application was withdrawn September 28, 2026 while alternative generation locations were evaluated.

Photos from readers, kept apart from the pin's sourced media. Rate what you ate or saw, and on a restaurant pin tag the dishes right on your photo.
The first entry is always the pin's source. Overall confidence is a weighted average of how firmly each reference supports the start and end times used above; a reference counts half as much for every 180 days older than the newest.
Something missing or wrong? Say it in your own words: a link that backs this pin up, a different start or end date and why, or a fact it lacks or gets wrong. The AI checks it against this pin's sources, searches for better ones, and adds any page that backs you up. The pin's own sources still count most. A picture that shows something else, or shows it badly, is looked at too, and moved down or replaced.
