Avaio Digital Leo
AVAIO Digital Partners. Approved, 150 MW
AVAIO Digital Partners announced Avaio Digital Leo, a 760 acre AI ready data center and power campus off Interstate 530 in Pulaski County near Wrightsville, described as the largest economic investment in Arkansas history, with a first phase carrying a 6 billion dollar price tag and power demand expected to grow from an initial 150 megawatts contracted with Entergy Arkansas to as much as 1 gigawatt. On October 27, 2026 the Pulaski County Quorum Court voted 10 to 4 to override County Judge Barry Hyde's veto of a new ordinance requiring data center developers to submit detailed power, water, and noise information before obtaining a conditional use permit. On October 30, 2026 AVAIO sued Pulaski County in federal court over that ordinance, arguing it exceeds the county's legal authority and threatens the project's deadlines and contract rights through duplicative studies, and seeking to overturn the regulation along with damages and attorney fees.

What it would mean nearby
The cooling design has not been reported. If it uses evaporative cooling, a 150 MW facility would draw roughly 476,000 to 1.7 million gallons of water a day, about what 5,500 households use.
