Respectful Design

Our campus is designed with the community in mind, minimizing noise and visual impact through thoughtful design, landscaping, and architectural integration.

Sustainable Cooling

Designed with local water stewardship in mind, our closed-loop cooling system recirculates water, significantly reducing water consumption.

Job Creation

The campus is expected to create thousands of construction jobs, hundreds of long-term careers, and generate lasting economic benefits for the community.

Utility Upgrades

This campus will help fund electrical infrastructure improvements that enhance regional reliability without increasing residents’ utility bills.

Clarksville, Arkansas

Building Opportunity in Arkansas

With reliable infrastructure, available land, and room for future growth, Arkansas is increasingly attracting investment in digital infrastructure. These projects create local employment opportunities, support local businesses, and contribute new tax revenue that helps strengthen the broader community.

Closed-Loop-Cooling-System

Water-efficient, Closed-loop Cooling System

The cooling system is designed to move heat, not consume water. Cooling fluid circulates through a sealed loop, absorbs heat from the servers, returns to the air-cooled chillers, and is reused again and again for years. This helps minimize water use and protect local water resources.

$6.6 Billion Investment in Clarksville’s Future

The Clarksville campus represents an estimated $6.6 billion investment in the community, including the major mechanical and electrical systems needed to support long-term operations. Beyond the project itself, the campus is projected to generate approximately $558 million in local public benefit through 2060, including $548 million in PILOT payments, $3 million in upfront City and County agreement fees, $840,000 in construction permit fees, and $6 million for a Community Development Center.

This long-term revenue can help support the services and priorities that matter to Clarksville families, including local schools, public services, infrastructure planning, workforce development, and future community needs.

Thousands of Construction Jobs + Long-Term Local Opportunity

Development of the campus is expected to support thousands of construction jobs for regional contractors, skilled trades, site-prep crews, equipment operators, security teams, and support services. Once operational, the campus is also expected to create permanent site positions and support 150 to 400 indirect regional jobs through maintenance, electrical, HVAC, generator servicing, security, and specialty contractor work.

Strengthening Local Infrastructure Without Raising Resident Costs

The campus is expected to support major electrical infrastructure upgrades that strengthen long-term reliability and capacity across the Clarksville Connected Utilities service area. Residents will not pay for these upgrades, and utility rates will not increase because of the data center. These improvements can help prepare the community for future growth, new business investment, and long-term economic development.

New Career Pathways for Local Workforce

Serverfarm plans to support local workforce partnerships with schools, Arkansas Tech and the University of the Ozarks to help create career pathways in data center operations, cybersecurity, industrial controls, electrical systems, and facilities maintenance. These partnerships can help prepare local students and residents for long-term technical careers close to home.

Frequently Asked Questions

Overview

The campus is planned as a large-scale, multi-building development, with the first phase expected to be complete by early 2028.

Arkansas continues to attract long-term investment, creating opportunities for communities like Clarksville to participate in the growth of digital infrastructure. Clarksville’s central location also allows us to support major cities throughout the region while investing locally for years to come.

Construction is underway to prepare the site. We’re still finalizing the construction timeline and will share updates with the community as soon as those details are confirmed. Our current plan is to complete the first two buildings by January 2028.

Power, Utilities, and Water

The data center will serve as an anchor customer that funds electrical upgrades across CCU’s territory — at no cost to residents — while improving reliability for every customer. This will allow more businesses to locate in Clarksville.

Revenue from the data center will help CCU maintain stable rates for its customers. Residents will not fund any of these upgrades, and rates will not rise because of the data center.

 

Today, Clarksville’s electrical system is fully tapped out, preventing economic development in Clarksville. Upgrading it without the data center would require raising rates for residents.

The data center will use a closed-loop cooling system, which recirculates water rather than evaporating it. This design uses ~70% less water than traditional cooling and produces near-zero waste. The water is expected to last in that system for several years before needing to be replaced. 

 

If the data center uses more water than is available on CCU’s system, it is contractually obligated to upgrade CCU’s system, providing excess capacity of 1.45 million gallons per day, benefiting all residents.

The data center will not discharge any toxic waste of any kind. The only discharge during operations will be sanitary waste from building occupants, the same as any commercial development.

CCU classifies condensation as “wastewater,” but in practice, this is pure water – the same condensation that forms on a glass of iced tea on a hot day. Volumes of condensation will be extremely low.
