Google data center poises West Memphis for boom; project bond issue totals $60 billion$

Google has begun construction on a $4 billion data center in West Memphis, Arkansas, with the City Council approving up to $60 billion in industrial development bonds. The project, located on 1,100 acres, will power Google's search and AI capabilities and is expected to create hundreds of full-time jobs. While other areas face opposition, West Memphis has largely welcomed the development, despite some local concerns about water and electricity usage.
