AVAIO Has Exciting Plans in Right to Work Arkansas
AVAIO Digital Partners is making an initial investment of $6 billion in order to establish operations in Right to Work Pulaski County, Arkansas. This launch will also result in the creation of over 500 new jobs!
From Area Development Magazine:
“It is our intention that this extraordinary 760-acre site in the Little Rock area will be both a major pole of data center capacity and an engine of sustained economic and technological momentum for Arkansas. […] With a first phase investment of $6 billion and over $21 billion through full development, infrastructure of this scale requires support from communities and partners, and we thank Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders, Secretary of Commerce Hugh McDonald, and Entergy Arkansas for helping make this possible. We look forward to continuing to work with these partners and the local communities as we break ground in early 2026.” […]
“Arkansas has tremendous momentum coming into 2026, and we are excited that AVAIO is announcing a new multi-billion dollar project in Pulaski County to continue our story of growth. […] All of the elements needed for growth are in Arkansas, from an experienced workforce to low costs to ample power. AVAIO has recognized the advantages of doing business in Arkansas, investing an initial $6 billion as part of the project. This is a major commitment to Arkansas and Pulaski County, and we thank the leadership of AVAIO, Pulaski County, and our utility partners for their vision and hard work.”
“In economic development, we recognize that we must have product in the form of sites for capital intensive projects that inject tax revenues into our economy. Over three years ago, our team surveyed sites across the region and worked with landowners to market properties with the goal of landing projects like this multi-billion-dollar investment. […] This property was one we identified, marketed, and helped attract a major investment, which achieved a major milestone today. We congratulate AVAIO on this milestone and look forward to our continued partnership through the development phase of this project.”
