Historic Alabama site tied to WWIl atomic bomb project eyed for data center
A developer is considering a historic World War II-era site in Talladega County, Alabama, which was once an explosives plant, for a new data center. This potential project follows several failed redevelopment efforts for the site.
A historic site in Talladega County, Alabama, known as the Alabama Ordnance Works, is being considered for redevelopment as a data center. The site was originally established by the U.S. Army in the 1940s to produce explosives for World War II, putting a small, unnamed city of 5,000 in Talladega County on the map.
After years of failed attempts to redevelop the property, a new developer has identified the former military plant as a potential location for a data center. The article does not name the specific city or the developer involved in the proposal.
