Maybe an AI data center. It's just a place to get cheap energy.

The age of AI will require enormous power generation capacity… I won’t rule out the big tech firms going to where that power is located

Holly Ridge is in God’s Country very close Tim McGraw country on I20 in North La.

Oddly enough there are rumors of a couple of projects for that area.

Almost assuredly. Microsoft is currently trying to get Three Mile Island back online for their AI R&D.

Haven’t seen anything about this in the news. Seems like it would be making waves somewhere

Correct. A suburb of Rayvegas and soon to be the next Silicon Valley.

There is no such place around here.

Just a data center. Happening all across the country near easy sources of power.

Was told this was the case by an employee @ Riverbend. They are making upgrades to support the project.

I’ve heard a rumor similar to this - without naming the company - from legit sources.

Been a poorly kept secret for many months. I understand there are still some pretty major foundational issues to work through though.

It’s a data processing center for AI. The entire area is being converted to solar farms. We won’t have food anymore but the number of likes from AI bots will be nutritious and delicious.
