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

Located off I-65 in southern Montgomery County across from Hyundai Motor Manufacturing Alabama (HMMA) plant (Hope Hull area, approximately I-65 Exit 164). The pin (~32.185 N, ~86.273 W) is approximate and does not mark the site, which the governor's announcement places off Interstate 65 "across from the Hyundai automotive assembly plant". Originally announced as $800M, expanded September 2025 to $1.5B with 1.3M sq ft footprint. Expected online end of 2026. Meta's 24th global data hub and 20th in the US. Subsidies: no subsidy is recorded for any of the seven Alabama records, not just this one, for a statewide reason. Alabama's Data Processing Center incentive program has no per-company reporting requirement, and neither the state nor its agencies publish which data center operators receive abatements or in what amount. Meta is named as a beneficiary of the sales-tax exemption but no dollar figure attaches to it. This is a disclosure gap, not a GASB 77 audited negative: no municipal ACFR tax-abatement note was obtained, so it does not establish that a particular city has no agreement with a particular operator. Any future subsidy entry for an Alabama site will most likely have to come from a city or county resolution rather than from a state source.
