Missoula, MT, November 1, 2026 — The University of Montana’s Bureau of Business and Economic Research (BBER) has released a new study examining the potential economic contributions of hyperscale data centers within the state of Montana. The research focuses on key areas that could be influenced by the development and operation of such facilities.

The study’s analysis centers on three primary economic indicators: job creation, personal income growth, and property tax revenue. Hyperscale data centers, characterized by their large-scale infrastructure and significant energy demands, are being evaluated for their potential to stimulate economic activity in Montana.

While the study by BBER outlines the areas of potential economic impact, specific findings regarding the projected numbers for job creation, the estimated growth in personal income, or the anticipated property tax revenues were not detailed in the provided summary. The nature and extent of these impacts would typically depend on various factors, including the size of the data center, its operational scale, and its location within the state.

The Bureau of Business and Economic Research is a unit within the University of Montana that conducts research on economic trends and issues relevant to Montana. Its analyses often serve to inform policymakers, businesses, and the public about economic developments and their implications.

Further details regarding the methodology, specific projections, and conclusions of the BBER study on hyperscale data centers in Montana are necessary to fully understand the scope and implications of its findings.
