A Denver-backed entity is quietly assembling over 1,700 acres across Caddo and Bossier Parishes, signaling a potential multi-site data center footprint in northwest Louisiana.
The locations span industrial corridors and sensitive areas near Caddo Lake, setting up a direct clash between AI-scale infrastructure and environmental and community concerns.
No operator or end-customer is named, but the land volume and dispersion suggest large-scale, likely GPU-heavy campuses needing serious power, cooling, and network build-out.
Local officials say no deals are final, which means timelines, tax incentives, and utility commitments are all still in play.
Residents are already pushing back over possible impacts on water, noise, and land use, hinting at permitting friction and longer lead times for any hyperscale build.
For AI infra watchers, this is another example of secondary markets being scoped for cheaper land and power, but running into local resistance and environmental scrutiny.
Worth keeping this link handy as a bellwether for how rural and lake-adjacent communities respond to large AI data center proposals.
