Arkansas Qualified Large Data Centers Development

planned

Prospective

This project involves the development of multi-site data center facilities in Arkansas, defined as 'Qualified Large Data Centers'. These centers consist of two or more non-adjacent properties connected by fiber and associated equipment, with significant scale and investment commitment. The project benefits from expanded sales and use tax exemptions covering equipment, services, construction, renovation, operation costs, and electricity used by the qualifying centers. Cryptocurrency mining operations are excluded from eligibility. The project requires a minimum investment of $2 billion within ten years and a minimum annualized compensation of $3 million to Arkansas-based workers in the first two years of operation. Oversight and application processing are managed by the Arkansas Department of Finance and Administration, with mandatory annual certification and strict compliance requirements.
