Corderill investing $100 million at Meridian data center campus

Corderill LLC is making a significant corporate investment of at least $100 million in data center equipment, becoming a tenant at the Compass Datacenters campus in Meridian, Mississippi. This project, announced by the Mississippi Development Authority (MDA), is expected to create at least 20 direct jobs. Governor Tate Reeves hailed Corderill's investment as a win for Lauderdale County, emphasizing its role in attracting good-paying jobs and long-term opportunities. The MDA noted that Compass Datacenters had previously announced plans in January 2025 for a $10 billion hyperscale data center campus in Lauderdale County, which includes investments from tenants like Corderill. MDA executive director Bill Cork highlighted Mississippi's preparedness, stating that the existing infrastructure allowed Corderill to move forward quickly. The MDA has approved Corderill for its Data Center Incentive, and both the city of Meridian and Lauderdale County are providing assistance for the project.
