The Google Project Rise 2A Data Center Campus is a hyperscale digital infrastructure development located along FM 2897 South in Vernon, Wilbarger County, Texas. Initially filed under the shell entity Platon Investments LLC, the project is paired with the neighboring Project Rise 1A facility, associated with Planton Investments LLC. Together, the two developments represent a reported $1 billion combined infrastructure investment in North Texas, reflecting growing demand for large-scale computing facilities designed to support artificial intelligence and cloud services. Project Rise 2A encompasses approximately 991,000 square feet of planned floor space and is intended to accommodate next-generation AI model training, sovereign cloud computing, and high-density computing workloads. Its substantial footprint provides room for data halls and the supporting systems required for hyperscale operations, including power distribution, cooling equipment, high-performance networking, physical security, and operational infrastructure. Advanced AI training and inference workloads place significant demands on computing hardware and require reliable electricity, efficient thermal management, and robust connectivity to sustain performance at scale. The campus’s intended focus on AI and cloud applications reflects the increasing need for specialized facilities capable of supporting complex computational tasks, enterprise data processing, and scalable digital services. As one half of the broader Project Rise development, the facility forms part of a coordinated infrastructure expansion, although detailed information about its individual IT capacity, power requirements, construction timeline, and operational status has not been provided. Located in Vernon, the project contributes to the wider development of Texas’s data center sector, where large-scale digital infrastructure investments are responding to expanding cloud adoption and AI demand. If delivered as planned, Project Rise 2A will add purpose-built capacity for advanced computing workloads and support the infrastructure needs of increasingly data-intensive applications.
