Source-reported capacity; not metered consumption. Review underlying documents and notes. Planned capacity may include future phases and is not added to operational capacity here. The source may use facility, grid-feed or IT capacity definitions; consult the linked documents.
Coordinate precision is a source label, not an independent parcel survey. A marker does not confirm utility territory or establish an effect on residential bills.
Reported lifecycle history
- Proposed
The Clark County Economic Development Corp. board approved a purchase agreement with DC Devco LLC for the 991-acre Southwest Arkansas Mega Site at Gum Springs for $11.4 million, with the end user to be named before closing. Representatives described a minimum $1 billion commitment, a minimum of 150 primary technical jobs, a 'gigawatt power facility' ambition and an operational target of 2032 with construction phased over four to six years.
Underlying source - Cancelled
The agreement terminated after the purchaser failed to deposit $200,000 in earnest money within the contractual timeframe; the EDCCC CEO stated 'The purchaser did not deposit the required amount within the timeframe outlined in the agreement,' and a special meeting was set for 2026-05-01 to formally acknowledge the termination.
Underlying source
Source notes
Recorded as cancelled: the purchase agreement for the site was terminated in April 2026 for non-payment of earnest money. Coordinates are the OpenStreetMap point for Gum Springs, the community the Southwest Arkansas Mega Site is identified with (described as roughly five miles south of Arkadelphia); this is a community-level approximation, not the site boundary. DC Devco LLC is the named purchaser entity; the end user was never disclosed, described only as one of a handful of operators with 'eight gigawatt-plus campuses in the country.' Figures quoted by project representatives at the April 2026 public meeting - a 'gigawatt power facility,' a '2 gig plus campus' and 'somewhere around a $20 billion dollar investment' - are aspirational statements by an unnamed prospective end user and are not recorded as capacity or investment. The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette's May 3 roundup, published days after the termination, still described the project as approved; the two Arkadelphian reports are the specific, dated record of the outcome.
