Jackson Jambalaya

Leave it to the moron in ward 3 to cry racism and get the uninformed riled up over misinformation. Grizzle you are a real idiot on a special level of incompetence. Remember when he cried over Paul moak receiving fresh pavement… it seems Paul moak was the wrong skin color for ole Brian Grizzle the racist in charge of misinformation and ruin

If there is any copper wire in an AI center, it wont be there for long..

Rukia and Skyhook will be hollering.

The fact that Ashby fails to mention, is that data centers generate a lot of noise. While the upside might be increased tax revenue, the downside – electricity and water aside, is that they are noisy. I, for one, would find it extremely disturbing to have to listen to a hive of hornets in my back yard 24/7/365.

Like the other city councilmen at Jackson, Foote is largely incompetent. He is correct here though. A data center would help Jackson. They need it.

Grizzell is Ward 4. Stokes not only did not say anything about the Paul Moak road resurfacing, he came to the grand reopening.

It is being claimed that the engines driving the generators will be enclosed to deal with the noise. A class action lawsuit has been filed over the noise from the Southaven data center. There better be some acceptable decibel level that the Jackson data center cannot exceed.

Got the skinny on what happened up in Southaven. The company exploited a loophole. Once the permanent generators are built, they will be subject to a noise limit. However, no such limits exist for a temporary generator. From what I understand, such could not happen down here.

It can’t be denied that the data centers bring in big tax money. Jackson certainly needs that. I don’t see a downside since water is no issue and it won’t be connected to the grid.

Of course there are downsides to data center operations but there are also upsides which a city in Jackson's position cannot reasonably ignore. No development is perfect, there are always possible problems, but if the developer is willing to address those problems you can't simply dismiss the project because some other development in some other location did not address the problems. You take a calculated risk. Broke-ass Jackson should not have the luxury of denying an economic opportunity because of potential problems which could possibly be solved.

Very noisy indeed. Might cover up some of the gunfire though.

Data center ad valorem tax revenue is about the only thing that can save and resuscitate Jackson. The caveat is, what will CoJ do with said tax revenue? History shows that Democrats are masters of squandering tax dollars. Will they be like lottery winners who blow it all and go bankrupt?

Racism is very profitable.
So Grizzell just tells the plebes that it exists, even when it does not, and in turn he grows his wealth and power.
Its a shame the Low IQ crowd eats it up, but I doubt they will suddenly wake up and realize they are being abused by such leaders. C'est la vie

Lemme get this straight.
If Jackson is overlooked for a possible business investment in the area...That's racism?
And if Jackson IS offered new business opportunity, that is also racism?
Y'all are wild.

340,000 acres???

Do not be surprised if God punishes us for this AI wickedness. And that punishment will be our salvation because it will likely be a massive solar event that returns us to an 18-19th century technological style way of life. Saving us from ourselves.

Ashby being given talking points from the developers is interesting. Also Tate being such a Bezos fanboy is biting MS in the butt right now with this. All these ad valorum tax estimates are ESTIMATES. Looking at the market and how fast the equipment in these data centers depreciate, and how many of these data centers AREN'T actually being built, its not as simple of a choice as people assume.

These kind of folks have fuck you money which means they will always have as many loopholes and approvals as they need.

Yes, the equipment depreciates. Then it gets upgraded and replaced, which is then taxed on the new value. The ad valorem stream will resemble a sawtooth wave, therefore the estimated amounts are averaged. Now, what’s your next black pill?

What kind of a low grade moron do you have to be to think thgese projects will ever pay any significant taxes? Or maybe you are smart and getting paid to peddle this shit for them?

This will not help Jackson cuz the city will squander all the money and nothing good will come it..and I am the ultimate optimist

Are they still building one in Brandon, or did the local bickering put a stop to it?

Well, where does this "Gusher of Tax" revenue come from?...Why, in the end, the consumer...You and me of course...

Not to say “I told you so…… but when the data centers became an issue, I said they only wanted our cheap resources….electricity and water. Now we hear our electricity costs will look more like a monthly mortgage and is expected to at least double. Not much about depletion of our water resources!
Why does Entergy not want to give us the details on the energy side?

The Jackson data center is almost certainly Prado. I bet it never gets built even if approved.

Wish we could consolidate all of the data center posts on JJ, FB, X, etc. Same posts over and over on multiple outlets.

Some of yall were the same people opposing calculators, air conditioning and measles shots.
