Avaio Digital Partners this week announced plans for a new data center hub near Little Rock in Pulaski County, Arkansas. Known as Avaio Digital Leo, Avaio is currently contracted with Entergy Arkansas for 150MW of power, but the company anticipates power demand of up to 1GW as the 760-acre campus grows.
Mark McComiskey, CEO of AVAIO Digital, said: "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 $21bn 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."

"Avaio Digital's $6bn data center hub represents the largest economic investment in Arkansas' history and sets the Natural State up to become a technology powerhouse that can compete with any state in the nation," said Governor Sanders.
