Applied Digital Deuel County Campus (Toronto)

430 MW AI data center in Toronto, SD, United States: cancelled.

Status: Cancelled

Applied Digital announced a $5 billion, 430 MW campus near Toronto in Deuel County, then dropped it in April 2026 after South Dakota lawmakers rejected a sales tax exemption for data centers. The company said it would let its land agreement lapse, so the site is listed here for the record and is not counted in South Dakota totals. Source: South Dakota Searchlight, 2026-04-02.
