Notes on the record

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). Fixes: (1) removed unsourced 5,000 construction jobs figure, AEDC states only 'thousands'; (2) corrected energy.source from 'solar' to 'grid', facility draws from Entergy Arkansas; Arkansas Cypress Solar is a companion renewable project; (3) corrected landAcres from 1,200 to 1,178 per Army Corps filing.

What the record does not establish, and the document that would

In every fight on our tracker the decisive fact came out of a public records request. These are the requests for this site.

  • Power capacity in megawatts
  • Permanent jobs promised
  • Which utility serves it
Which document closes each gap
Power capacity in megawatts
The utility's large load service agreement, the interconnection request in the grid operator's queue, or the electrical site plan in the permit file.
Permanent jobs promised
The economic development application or incentive agreement, which usually states a job commitment and a clawback.
Which utility serves it
The electric service agreement or the utility's filing with the state public utility commission.

Distances are between recorded coordinates, many of which are a city or county centroid, so treat them as approximate. Cumulative load on one utility and one aquifer is the question a planning commission rarely asks.
