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

No dated operational history is established in this record. Publication, discovery and source-update dates are not opening dates.

Source notes

This record is weakly sourced. The only cited source is Baxtel, a data-center marketplace aggregator, which states: Childersburg Industrial Park (formerly the Alabama Ordnance Works), 486 acres, "a $6 billion proposed investment", "advanced glycol-based closed-loop cooling", "over 200 permanent positions and approximately 2,000 construction jobs", status "Future facility in planning with land secured", year planned 2029, currently in due-diligence assessment of environmental readiness for the former military site. Confidence is therefore "reported", not "confirmed". Figures omitted because no cited source states them: a 500 MW capacity (asserted by cleanview.co and servercountry.org, neither cited here) and a ~$17 million city land-purchase agreement for the 486 acres (search-summary only). As of September 2026, primary coverage by Inside Climate News (23 Jan 2026, "This Small Alabama Town Was Part of the Manhattan Project...") and its WBHM syndication could not be retrieved, so neither is cited. Coordinates are the Childersburg municipal centroid, not the industrial-park parcel — "Childersburg Industrial Park" and "Alabama Ordnance Works" both return empty from Nominatim. Site history: the Alabama Ordnance Works / Alabama Army Ammunition Plant, a WWII-era Manhattan Project-adjacent munitions site, which is why environmental due diligence is the gating step. Sylacauga News reported on 18 November 2025 that the Childersburg City Council approved Resolution 2025-29 authorizing the mayor, as Local Redevelopment Authority chairman, to execute a purchase sales agreement for about 487 acres in the industrial park, subject to review and approval of the final agreement; the report does not name the buyer. WVTM reported in July 2026 that council members said no offer to purchase the property had been made.
