Wilsonville Data Center
Wilsonville, Shelby County, AL
Wilsonville Data Center is an announced data center project in Wilsonville, AL, backed by NorthPoint Development. The project is sized at 1,008 MW. Proposed hyperscale data center in Wilsonville (Shelby County) after a developer filed a memorandum of option on ~689-700 acres in Sept 2025, sparking organized community opposition, including a private Facebook group (500+ members) that DataCentersExposed itself cites as the advocacy campaign for this site. DataCentersExposed (importing from the FracTracker Alliance tracker) attributes operator NorthPoint Development and 1,008MW/3,000,000 sq ft to this site at MEDIUM confidence, flagged as not yet corroborated by primary local reporting or permits -- treat capacity/operator as provisional pending a primary-source confirmation. No hearings or permits on record as of source date.
