Summary
Global Stack has proposed building a mixed-use development on a former fairground in Calistoga, California, including an Edge data center (8-10MW), a parking garage, and a 'vertiport' for eVTOL air shuttles and emergency response flights. However, eVTOL vehicles have not yet been approved for use in the US. The company, founded in March, plans to replicate this model on at least 70 other fairgrounds across California.
