This 47-acre parcel of open pasture land is located one-half mile west of Meta’s Hyperion Data Center (Richland Parish Data Center). The Hyperion campus is under construction on a 2,250-acre campus in the Holly Ridge area. This project represents Meta’s investment in artificial intelligence infrastructure. The Hyperion campus is engineered for multi-gigawatt AI compute capacity. Construction began in late 2024, with peak on-site employment exceeding 5,000 skilled trade workers and long-term operational jobs for more than 500 professionals. Entergy Louisiana is executing power infrastructure upgrades to support the campus’s energy demands. Road, water, and utility improvements are underway. This cleared, level, open-pasture property offers immediate development potential. Its strategic adjacency to the Meta campus positions it for secondary and tertiary industries that complement and support large-scale data center operations. Ideal uses include: power and energy solutions, telecommunications and connectivity, logistics and supply chain, manufacturing and assembly, support services, and workforce and ancillary development. Richland Parish and the surrounding region deliver a pro-business climate with competitive incentives through Louisiana Economic Development (LED), including tax credits, infrastructure grants, and workforce training programs. The area boasts affordable land costs, a deep labor pool, low cost of living, and excellent highway access via nearby LA-183 and proximity to U.S. routes serving the I-20 corridor. Rayville and the broader Monroe metro area provide housing, amenities, and services just minutes away.
