Summary
Tuscaloosa County is getting a $3.2 billion data center—and it’s the first in Alabama to include community benefits. That means $270 million over 20 years for local schools and services, so the deal has real cash attached, not just ribbon-cutting.

Impact analysis
The headline number is $3.2 billion in private investment, plus $270 million over 20 years for local schools and services—so yes, this is a big fiscal deal.
Local schools and public services are the clearest winners, with residents and the county tax base also benefiting from new investment.
No groups are identified as negatively affected in the source, though data centers can raise concerns about energy and water use that would need separate review.
