## Resource

Taurus isn’t the giant data center you imagine—it’s a “microscaler,” tiny compared to hyperscalers, quietly tucked inside an existing 25-year-old building with noise and water use so minimal it’s almost laughable. It’ll draw power via special contracts to cut costs, and its environmental footprint? Zero new impact. With $115 million in upfront tax revenue and ongoing property taxes, this project isn’t just about tech—it’s about control: will we host our own digital infrastructure, or keep outsourcing it?
