Summary

Meta data center campus in Montgomery, Alabama. Announced in May 2024 as a 715,000-square-foot campus worth more than USD 800 million, it was expanded in September 2025 with two more buildings, bringing the campus to nearly 1.3 million square feet and the investment to more than USD 1.5 billion; Meta says it will be optimized for AI workloads. Meta's location list gives 2024 as the groundbreaking year. Meta names Alabama Power as its energy-planning partner and refers readers to Hensel Phelps for construction information. Meta's undated fact sheet gives job estimates well above those in its earlier posts.

The status rests on two undated Meta pages: the U.S. location list, which gives 2024 as the groundbreaking year, and the fact sheet, which describes the data center in the future tense. status_as_of is therefore the date both were read (2026-10-09). The fact sheet PDF shows no publication date; its embedded file creation date is 2026-09-02.
