Meta's Kuna, Idaho, data center is now serving traffic, according to the company's data-center development vice president. The facility is Meta's second AI-optimized site to come online and represents an overall investment of $1.2 billion, the executive said.

Meta had initially planned an $800 million, 960,000-square-foot facility, but paused the site during a redesign to accommodate AI infrastructure and liquid cooling. The company says the campus uses a closed-loop cooling system that uses zero water for most of the year.
