> 2. Why would a datacenter increase land value? This isn't a corporate headquarters, it's a datacenter.

Data centers require backbones to provide their services. Becker sits outside the range of most ISP's, in addition to no fiber connection; Monticello being the closest with fiber. I suspect there will be a substantial contract for laying fiber here, thus further increasing value of the land.

Centurylink is already passing through there. They already have 1gb internet for 65.00/month there. That's cheaper than what I pay here in Austin.
They dont have GB internet there, I have family there. =P
