Source notes

Eight-data-center campus over an eight-year buildout at the I-20/59 Industrial Park, Meridian. Groundbreaking Jan 28 2025 (under construction). Mississippi Power to supply ~500 MW via a dedicated substation. Investment omitted: the widely cited $10B is a projected full-occupancy total including future tenants' IT equipment ('an investment of $10 billion, including future tenants' information technology equipment'), not a firm Compass outlay. 'Thousands of jobs' is a projection. The recorded 1,000 construction jobs come from Lauderdale County's July 2026 statement that construction of the campus "will employ more than 1,000 Mississippi workers". First confirmed tenant: Corderill LLC ($100M equipment, 20 jobs, April 2026). Coordinates are the Meridian centroid (no parcel coordinates published).

Mississippi Power to supply ~500 MW; the utility invested in a dedicated substation at the I-20/59 Industrial Park to enable the campus.
