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.

Source notes

Campus on Bolliger Road, West Memphis. Coordinates approximate for the Bolliger Road industrial area. $4B is Phase 1 through 2027; total planned investment is $10B, which would be the largest private capital investment in Arkansas history. Five data center buildings on 920-acre campus footprint within a 1,178-acre site (per U.S. Army Corps of Engineers filing). A 5,000 construction-jobs figure, unsourced as of July 2026, is not recorded: AEDC states only 'thousands'. The facility draws from Entergy Arkansas, so the energy source is the grid; Arkansas Cypress Solar is a companion renewable project. The site area is 1,178 acres per the Army Corps filing, not 1,200.

Powered by Entergy Arkansas grid supply; Google committed to develop a companion 600 MW Arkansas Cypress Solar project in Jefferson County with 350 MW battery storage to offset energy consumption; Google covering all energy costs; $25M Energy Impact Fund for local efficiency and weatherization
