Big Woods Technology Park

A proposed data-center and power-campus record for Jefferson Davis County, Mississippi. The map pin is county-level and does not represent a building entrance.

At a glance

Developer
Eagle Rock Partners
Mapped location
Jefferson Davis County, Mississippi — county-area pin
Status
Planned; the database record says on-site gas generation would need Mississippi DEQ approval before operation.
Capacity
Not confirmed in the source trail currently available to this site.

What this record establishes

  • The project has been reported as Big Woods Technology Park in Jefferson Davis County.
  • The record distinguishes a proposed campus from an approved operating data center.
  • Any on-site generation would be subject to separate environmental permitting; a project announcement is not a permit.

Documented project snapshot

This is a proposal / pre-construction record, separated from nearby pins because it has its own recorded operator, place, and status context.

Recorded stage
Planned; on-site gas generation needs Mississippi DEQ approval before operation (Planetizen, Oct. 4, 2026)
Published capacity context
$6B, roughly 2M sq ft; 1,000 temporary and 200 permanent jobs (Planetizen)
Source trail
The source panel links the records used for this dossier.

Verification priority: Review the operator’s latest technical material and local expansion, air-permit, utility, water, and building records before treating this page as a complete current operating profile.

Any capacity figure is a dated source note, not proof of current electrical draw, water use, tenant identity, emissions, employment, tax outcome, or parcel boundary.

What still needs local-record confirmation

  • The parcel, acreage, data-hall count, capacity, and construction schedule.
  • Air-permit application numbers, generator specifications, and public-comment dates.
  • Water, electric-service, tax-incentive, and zoning agreements.

How to follow it

  1. Search Mississippi DEQ public notices for the project name, developer, and Jefferson Davis County.
  2. Check county agendas and land records for the parcel and any development agreement.
  3. Compare any permit application with the project’s public descriptions before treating a proposed capacity as final.

Local records and verification checklist

This dossier distinguishes what its cited source establishes from records that must be checked locally. A facility name or map pin alone does not establish its current power demand, water use, permits, tenants, construction status, or property boundary.

Map location
Use the precision label on this page. Address-level pins are approximate reference points, not surveyed entrances or parcel outlines.
Planning and zoning
Check the relevant city or county planning portal for case numbers, zoning, hearings, site plans, conditions, and staff reports.
Building and fire permits
Check local building and fire records for permit numbers, building scope, generator systems, inspections, and occupancy records.
Power and water
Check utility filings, interconnection records, water/wastewater permits, and public-agency meeting materials before making resource-use claims.
Air, noise, and stormwater
Check air-quality permits, generator-test conditions, noise studies, stormwater documents, setbacks, landscaping, and screening requirements where available.
Public benefits and timeline
Check development agreements, tax records, incentive documents, hearing minutes, and dated project announcements for commitments and milestones.

Information boundaries

Unless a linked primary source says otherwise, this page does not identify customers, tenant names, real-time capacity use, exact utility consumption, generator emissions, taxes paid, jobs created, or future expansion. Those claims need a specific public or operator source.

Community action and public process

Recorded project status: Planned; on-site gas generation needs Mississippi DEQ approval before operation (Planetizen, Oct. 4, 2026)

This dossier does not yet contain a verified project-specific community-action record. That is not evidence that no community activity exists.

This guide does not assume that residents oppose a facility. It records public process and documented local activity when a source supports it.

How to check or participate locally
  1. Search the city or county planning portal for the facility address, operator, and project name.
  2. Look for zoning cases, permit numbers, staff reports, agendas, hearing recordings, and public-comment deadlines.
  3. Check utility, water, air-quality, stormwater, and transportation agencies for project-specific filings.
  4. Use official meeting instructions to submit comments or request public records.
