The Battle Over Data Centers In Jackson, Ms. W/ Zach Servis (Hr #2 / Ep #1275)

Zach Service and Creston Birch continue with Clay as the focus shifts to the stalled BioCrete/Metro Center project and the larger question of why major economic development so often dies in Jackson. The bulk of the hour centers on the proposed data-center hub at Lake Hico (16th-section land), competing proposals, private equity interests, political hypocrisy between sites, and whether the city risks missing a rare large-scale opportunity while neighboring communities capture the benefits. Free-speech accountability and local government resistance remain major themes.
