Wilsonville Data Center Development Option

planned

A memorandum of option has been filed for nearly 700 acres in Wilsonville, Alabama, indicating potential plans for a major data center development. The memorandum was filed on April 22 between Tassco Steel Owner Richard Cashio and Northpoint Development LLC, a company specializing in data center projects. The option covers roughly 689 acres across the city of Wilsonville and unincorporated Shelby County, with a term expiring on February 17, 2027. The land cannot be sold to anyone else during this period. However, county officials express skepticism about the project's progress, noting that no further steps or funding commitments have been made yet, and the developer is speculating without a confirmed end user.
