Data Center and Natural Gas Plant Reportedly Planned for Grant County

Little Rock Pine Bluff, AR, October 16, 2026 —

A second data center and a natural gas power plant are reportedly in the works for Grant County, Arkansas, though few details about the plans have been made public.

County Judge Randy Pruitt said the data center is planned for 2,000 acres along State Highway 46 near Redfield. Information about the project has largely been kept secret because of non-disclosure agreements, according to the trend summary.

The available information does not identify the developer or the companies involved, and it does not specify the proposed power plant’s location or size. It also does not clarify whether the natural gas plant is intended to serve the data center or is a separate project. No construction schedule, project cost, permit status or expected operational date was provided.

The description characterizes both projects as reportedly in the works; it does not establish that construction has begun or that approvals have been secured. The acreage and location provided by Pruitt refer to the planned data center site. Further details about the project’s scope and the relationship between the data center and the power plant remain unavailable in the information provided.
