Project description
DCIP Group won rezoning in March 2026 for an initial 34 acres on a decommissioned power plant site. It has asked to rezone more than 825 additional acres toward a campus of about 1,300 acres, and the developer's proposed draw at full build-out is 4,000 MW. The initial property is valued at close to $4 billion. DeSoto County's one-year data center moratorium, approved in July 2026, exempts this already-approved project.
