Status: Proposed / Pending Municipal Approval (Reviewed May 19, 2026) | Location: La Pine
Unveiled during highly contested city framework discussions on May 19, 2026, the Boxminer La Pine facility is a proposed 20MW digital asset mining data center planned for a 19.5-acre industrial site in Central Oregon. The project has sparked massive public backlash from local residents because its initial 20MW power envelope alone would draw roughly 15 times the entire current energy consumption of the town of La Pine, which contains only about 1,070 households. Community activists and local editorial boards have raised alarms over potential spikes in local electrical rates, severe grid strain, and the lack of proportional long-term economic upside for the community. To counter the opposition, Boxminer's proposal highlights significant local economic boosts, promising a $1.2 million influx in annual property tax revenue for the City of La Pine, 100 immediate construction jobs, and up to 200 permanent high-tech roles with annual salaries scaling up to $180,000.
