Meta is developing one of the largest AI data centers in the United States in a rural Louisiana parish that ranks among the poorest counties in the country. 5 gigawatts of capacity and would be powered by ten new natural gas plants. Local officials have described the development as a potential economic boost for the region.
Construction plans call for a facility large enough to support extensive AI computing operations. The required power infrastructure would include ten dedicated natural gas plants to meet the center's energy demands.
The parish has faced long-term economic challenges and limited job growth. Project supporters say the data center could provide new employment opportunities and tax revenue during construction and operation phases. Local leaders have positioned the development as a key part of efforts to attract investment and stimulate economic activity in the area.
