How the community has taken it
Reception is a sourced signal, not an editorial judgment: contested means active public debate is on record, with hearings, petitions, or organized opposition, without litigation.
Mayor Lynn Spruill supports the project, citing roughly $1 million in annual revenue for the electric department to offset rate increases. Vice Mayor Roy A. Perkins said 'if I see any type of impact, I'm not going to vote for it'; a local business owner said 'it's going to gobble up electricity ... I'm not a fan of it.' Residents raised noise and environmental concerns, and a Change.org petition launched June 18, 2026 urged the city to block the development.
Power and water
Proposal calls for up to 20,000 gallons of water per day, used primarily for cooling the hardware (0.02 MGD).
Notes on the record
Would draw up to 30 MW continuously and become Starkville Utilities' second-largest electrical customer behind Mississippi State University. The $10 million figure is how Mayor Spruill characterised the investment; no operator has been named in either source read, so operator is recorded as undisclosed. Coordinates are an OpenStreetMap geocode of Industrial Park Road, Starkville, the road named as the site, not a parcel point. No confirmed approval had been issued as of the latest reporting read.
