Jackson signals intent to explore data center sites weeks after moratorium

The Jackson City Council passed a nonbinding resolution to identify suitable data center sites away from residential areas, weeks after enacting a 183-day moratorium on new proposals. This move reflects continued interest in attracting data centers for potential tax revenue despite public opposition over noise, water use, and pollution concerns, which previously led to the delay of a project by Saxum Investment Group.

Another city to consider zoning ordinance changes to tackle data centers

Clinton, Mississippi, is considering amending its zoning ordinance to define data centers and require conditional use permits for their operation. This move follows similar actions in Ridgeland, which approved zoning changes, and Jackson, which tabled a temporary moratorium while also facing public opposition to a rezoning request from Saxum Investment Group. The efforts aim to increase local governance over data center developments amidst growing industry presence.

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.
