Project Marvel Data Center Campus

planned

Project Marvel is a proposed $14 billion data center campus development on 700 acres of rural timber land near Bessemer, Alabama. The development would include 18 buildings totaling 4.5 million square feet. The project is in the early stages of the zoning process with the city, with a scheduled vote on rezoning the land on November 18, 2025. The developer has requested 2 million gallons of water per day, but the local water utility has indicated it lacks capacity without major upgrades. Environmental groups have raised concerns about the impact on rare fish species in the area.
