Project Red Clay

Project Red Clay is a proposed hyperscale data center campus by Cloverleaf Infrastructure in rural Lowndes County, near Hayneville, Alabama.

Plans described for the site include multiple large buildings and substantial electricity and water needs, bringing questions about utility capacity, water access, environmental effects, and local resources. County approvals and zoning authority, tax abatements, and residents’ requests for project records and clearer disclosure are also central to the project’s local impact. The debate reflects how a large industrial development can affect land use, public oversight, and the distribution of costs and benefits in its host community.
