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.

Announced Expansions

In 2018, the project broke ground on a 970,000 square feet (90,116 sq m) campus.
In 2021, Facebook announced plans to add two further buildings due for completion in 2024 that would expand the campus to 2.5 million square feet.
In 2022, the company announced that the campus would be expanded to 3.5 million square feet.
Construction on two of those buildings has been paused in late 2022 due to redesigning a section of the project.

Renewable Power

The company has also signed Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) to power the facility.

It signed 377 MW a solar deal with Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) in 2018
a 227 MW First Solar deal in Colbert County, Alabama,
a 150 MW NextEra Energy Resources project in Lincoln County, Tennessee
