Facebook's $750 million datacenter project in Huntsville was previously known by the codename “Starbelt.” The data center is located in the North Huntsville Industrial Park and was expected to launch in 2020, but was delayed until late 2021.
The company has also signed Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) to power the facility.
