Project Red Clay Data Center

Project Red Clay is a proposed hyperscale data center campus by Cloverleaf Infrastructure on farmland in Lowndes County, Alabama.

Plans described in public accounts involve a multi-building facility, with power needs of up to 1,500 megawatts and water use estimated at as much as 100,000 gallons a day. County tax abatements, land-use and zoning decisions, and questions about the project’s water and utility arrangements have drawn public attention. Residents and advocacy groups have sought project records and raised concerns about transparency, environmental impacts, and pressure on local resources.
