DeSoto Data Center Plans on Hold

A proposed data center in DeSoto County is stirring controversy after the developer quietly removed it from their official request — a move the mayor had encouraged. Though not mentioned at Tuesday’s meeting, the facility remains part of the rezoning plan for the Church and Craft Road corner, which could become the DeSoto Innovation District. Concerns echo those from Southaven over health impacts, and the project’s future hinges on public input from the Planning Commission and final approval from the Mayor and Board of Aldermen. With big unknowns around cost and timeline, this could face the same pushback seen in other communities — and locals are watching closely.
