A large artificial intelligence data center is being planned on more than 2,700 acres of land north of Texarkana in Miller County, Arkansas.
Infrastructure developer Bentaus is partnering with Chadbourn Infrastructure Partners on the project, which is expected to have a power capacity of 200 megawatts.
Plans call for access to pipeline-quality natural gas, allowing the facility to generate power on site as the project expands.
The development has raised questions about transparency and the potential impact of large data centers on local resources.
Concerns with similar projects in the region include water use, increased demand for electricity, as well as possible noise and light pollution.
Public records and reporting by the Texarkana Gazette have brought more details about the proposed project to light.
