Summary

Compass Datacenters is developing a single-tenant hyperscale campus of eight data centers in the Meridian I-20/59 Industrial Park in Meridian, Lauderdale County, Mississippi. Announced in January 2025 with Governor Tate Reeves, the project is valued at USD 10 billion at full fit-out including tenant IT equipment and is to be built over about eight years. Mississippi Power will supply about 500 MW and invested in a substation for the park, while the state granted tax exemptions and site support. Compass's market page now describes Meridian as a 320 MW site that broke ground in 2025.
