The Randolph County Quorum Court convened for a special session last Thursday to consider the possibility of a new data center in Pocahontas. During the meeting, justices agreed that more time and research are necessary before making any decisions regarding the proposed project. County Judge Ben Wicker reported that a buyer, who has been exploring property in the area, recently expressed interest in land for a potential data center within Randolph County. According to Judge Wicker, the same buyer is also evaluating similar facilities in neighboring areas. No formal actions have been taken at this stage, as the buyer's interest remains preliminary and no official proposals have been submitted. Local officials stressed the importance of gathering additional information before proceeding further.
