Jackson developer won’t reveal site of proposed tech hub; says it’s in the metro area
A Jackson developer, Gabriel Prado, is moving forward with plans for a tech campus, including a data center and a 1-gigawatt natural gas power plant, despite the Mississippi Public Service Commission denying a previous request for a declaratory opinion. This comes amidst local opposition to a proposed data center moratorium and a rezoning request by Saxum Investment Group for another data center site in the Jackson metro area. Prado's company, Prado AI, will now seek full permitting for the power plant.
