Little Rock city officials on Tuesday announced the launch of LRDataCentersFacts.com, a new public information website designed to address community questions and concerns about proposed data center developments in the Little Rock area. The website was formally introduced during a news conference held at the Central Arkansas Library System Main Library.
The website is a joint effort by the Little Rock Regional Chamber, Central Arkansas Water, Little Rock Water Reclamation Authority and Entergy Arkansas.
“As interest in data center development grows, so do questions from our community,” said Jay Chesshir, president and CEO of the Little Rock Regional Chamber. “We’ve heard those concerns, particularly around water usage, electricity demand, environmental impact and noise. This website is a direct response, grounded in transparency and facts, to help residents better understand what’s being proposed and how it may affect them.”
LRDataCentersFacts.com serves as a centralized hub for information related to key topics, including:
- Water usage and quality.
- Electricity demand and grid reliability.
- Environmental considerations and sustainability practices.
- Noise levels and mitigation strategies.
- Economic impact and community benefits.
The site features FAQs, project information and updates as new information becomes available, according to a press release.
