Echelon Data Centres is in discussions to establish a second data center in Lauderdale County, Mississippi. The company has signed a letter of intent to acquire approximately 300 acres in the Sonny Montgomery Industrial Park.

The land spans from Highway 45 to the railroad tracks and includes both county-owned and privately owned properties. Echelon is coordinating with Mississippi Power to secure around 500 mega volt-amperes for the facility. This development comes shortly after Compass Data Centers announced a $10 billion investment for an eight-center campus in the area.
