POSITIVE IMPACTS FOR BOULDER CITY
POSITIVE IMPACTS FOR BOULDER CITY
According to the economic analysis conducted by Applied Analysis, if the TS2 data center is built on federal land, a substantial portion of the City’s budget could be provided by the TS2 project.
​
The project would bring direct economic activity to Boulder City from the date ground is broken. The project plans to bring hundreds of construction jobs and dozens of long‑term technical positions with average total compensation around $100,000 a year.
​
​​Over the next 20 years, Boulder City will receive a portion of the estimated $1.4 billion in tax revenue from the project and collect another $25 million in fees from the TS2 project over the same period.
​
In addition, TS2 has proposed creating a Boulder City Utility Fund to help offset household energy costs resulting from the City’s utility rate increases to deal with aging infrastructure.
Total revenue to Boulder City from the TS2 data center is projected to substantially exceed the revenue from the current solar project over the life of the project.

The project intends to support long‑term financial stability for Boulder City, and it would align with the City’s 2025 - 2030 Strategic Plan by adding new annual revenue sources with minimal impact on residents and would create opportunities to fund needed infrastructure improvements.
​
Plans for nearly $8 million in upgrades to potable water systems and sewer lines are included in TS2’s capital budget, including contributing funding towards cleaning and treating Boulder City’s wastewater to a condition that would allow it to be returned to Lake Mead. These improvements would remain in place for the community long after construction ends.
​
The additional revenue from the TS2 project can help secure Boulder City’s fiscal future for decades and provide resources the City can use to maintain services, reduce power costs for residents, invest in infrastructure and plan for long‑term needs.
