Opposition and litigation at this site

Nothing on record as of September 15, 2026. No lawsuit, organized opposition, or contested hearing over Project Pulse Data Center Campus, Southwest Arkansas Mega Site (terminated) in Gum Springs, Clark County, Arkansas appears in the sources this registry tracks. That is an absence in our sources rather than a finding that none exists, and local opposition often predates any coverage a national dataset would pick up.

If you live near this site and something is happening that this page does not show, that is worth telling us. Send us the document and it goes in the record with the source attached. For sites where opposition is already established, see every contested site we track.

Notes on the record

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 deliberately NOT recorded as capacity or investment fields. 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.
