The Tucson mayor and city council have rejected Amazon’s proposed “Project Blue” data center, citing concerns over long-term water use in a drought-sensitive region. The $3.6 billion, 2.5 million sq ft campus would have supported an estimated 630 MW of total capacity, marking it as one of the largest proposed hyperscale builds in southern Arizona. The denial halts a major infrastructure project despite Amazon’s efforts to align the development with Tucson’s Climate Action and One Water plans.
