Meta plans to build an $800 million data center in Alabama’s capital city.
The new 715,000-square-foot, AI-optimized data center will be built off Interstate 65 in Montgomery, across from a Hyundai automotive assembly plant.
The Montgomery data center, reflecting Meta’s latest design, will become its 24th data hub and the 20th in the United States. Once operational, the facility will be LEED Gold certified by the U.S. Green Building Council. It will be supported by 100% renewable energy and reach net zero emissions. The new facility is expected online by the end of 2026.
“We are thrilled to announce our newest data center will be located in Montgomery. The city — and our specific location — offers great access to infrastructure and renewable energy, a strong pull of talent and most importantly, an amazing set of community partners,” said Brad Davis, director of community and economic development at Meta. “We look forward to having a strong partnership for years to come.”
In 2021, Meta opened a data center in Huntsville, Alabama.
