Clarksdale, Coahoma County, MS

Plans have been filed for Clarksdale 648-acre data center site (Global Ag Properties II / Flowers / Dunn rezoning), a data center in Clarksdale, MS. Clarksdale commissioners voted 3-2 on March 23, 2026 to rezone 648 acres from commercial/agricultural to light industrial for a prospective hyperscale data center pitched as bringing ~1,000 construction and 200-300 permanent jobs over up to six years. The end user is under NDA and no development agreement exists; 15 residents sued in Coahoma County Circuit Court challenging the ordinance, and the project must return to the planning commission for further approvals.
