Southaven Approves SpaceXAI Data Center | Hattiesburg News

Southaven just approved the design for a massive 660,000-square-foot data center from a SpaceXAI affiliate — a big leap for the city’s tech ambitions. While aldermen voted yes, one voice, Charlie Hoots, pushed for caution, urging the city to finish current projects before greenlighting new ones — citing ongoing noise from temporary turbines and unmet promises. The vote was only for design approval, not construction, and the site is already zoned for such facilities. The company already operates nearby, with a data center and power plant in Southaven and more just across the state line in Memphis. They’ve just acquired the land for this expansion, right next to their existing infrastructure. Plus, a community cleanup is coming up October 3rd from 9 to 11 AM — sign up if you want to help make the area better.
