Arkansas data centers: common questions
How many data centers are in Arkansas?
The Census tracks 3 major data center projects in Arkansas as of Nov 6, 2026: 2 proposed, 1 under construction. This counts large projects the Census has researched and sourced, not every smaller colocation or enterprise facility, so the total number of data center buildings in Arkansas is higher.
Are data centers being built in Arkansas right now?
Yes. 1 tracked project is under construction in Arkansas: Google West Memphis Data Center.
How many jobs will data centers create in Arkansas?
3 tracked projects in Arkansas have a published permanent-jobs figure, adding up to 850 permanent jobs as announced. Announced jobs are promises, not guarantees; construction employment is typically much larger but temporary.
How many AI data centers are in Arkansas?
The Census counts 1 tracked project in Arkansas as AI data centers, because their own sources describe them as built for AI: AVAIO Digital Leo (proposed). That is a floor; other campuses may run AI workloads without their sources saying so.
Answers are generated from the sourced project records above and update when a record changes. Open any project for its sources.
