This says nothing about the zoning issues before the board. The mtg today will go on as scheduled- yes, Saxum will ask AT the mtg for a continuance and likely no one will be able to speak until the board takes it up at a later date. Why did our council vote down and Saxum argue against the moratorium on data centers last week if they are now arguing that we need to take our time and engage with the community?

At this time, data centers will not be discussed at any Department of Planning & Development meetings.

Please continue following the City of Jackson website and official communication channels for future updates and public information regarding data centers.

🚨WEDNESDAY, MAY 27TH — 1:30 PM — PLANNING BOARD MEETING TO ALLOW A NEW DATA CENTER ON FOREST AVENUE. NO EXCUSES. SHOW UP. 🚨

Last week, Council President Brian Grizzell tried to slow the process down with a temporary 183-day moratorium, so Jackson could study the long-term impacts of major data center projects on:
• water usage
• electrical demand
• neighborhoods
• zoning protections
• and city infrastructure.

Instead…
Brown-Thomas and Parkinson helped stop the moratorium from moving forward.

Then Foote and Hartley secured the fourth vote, keeping the door open.

Moments later, Grizzell issued a warning that now sounds very different:
“The public sees who did it.”

Then came the part that changed everything….During THAT SAME MEETING, attorney Robert Ireland publicly confirmed he already represented a client seeking to bring a data center project into Jackson.

But he never publicly named the company.

Then, less than 24 hours later, the rezoning application surfaces.

And there it is:

Saxum Investment Company LLC — a New Jersey real estate investment firm seeking to rezone nearly 190 acres along Forest Avenue into heavy industrial zoning for what officials openly acknowledge is intended to become a data center site.

And they're represented by … Attorney Robert Ireland …

While Leshia Brown - Thomas and Kevin Parkinson were urging the public to “slow down” and “follow procedure”…

The project already had lawyers, rezoning paperwork, strategic language, and positioning in motion.

And residents should also remember:

Mayor Horhn's ally and developer, Gabriel Prado, is already pushing his own AI data center and power generation project in the metro area — meaning this conversation around AI infrastructure and data centers is moving deeper into Mississippi development circles.

Meaning the conversations around AI infrastructure, land, power, and development were already moving deeper behind the scenes while many residents were still unaware these projects were approaching Jackson at all.

Now, MAY 27TH becomes the moment the public finally enters the room.

Because once zoning changes happen…
once infrastructure starts moving…
once momentum builds around projects like these…
History shows they become much harder to stop or reshape later.

Just ask our neighbors in Southaven...

And if communities all the way in Alaska can create guardrails and slow these projects down — Jackson absolutely can too, especially when residents still control 5 of the 7 council seats.

Did you know worms lay eggs??! 🪱🥚

You read that right, our composting earthworms lay eggs or cocoons. They are about the size of a strawberry seed and are typically home to 2-7 babies. Who knew earthworms and chickens would actually have something in common!

Visit our booth every Saturday from 8-1 to find out the other way worms and chickens are alike and grab some of that good wurm poop.🪱🐔❤️
