DCIP DeSoto County AI Data Center
DCIP Group. On hold, 4000 MW
Dallas based DCIP Group, led by CEO Jon Brown, kept trying to expand its DeSoto County data center complex beyond the 34 acre first phase the county approved in March 2026, but DeSoto County commissioners deadlocked 2 to 2 on two separate rezoning requests for the expansion, about 238 acres known as 3F Ranch on October 27, 2026 and about 554 acres on October 28, 2026, with Commissioner Steven Hickox recusing himself both times over a family ethics conflict. Both tie votes mean the rezoning requests failed for now, stalling the push toward the company's eventual goal of roughly 1,315 acres and 4,000 megawatts, though DCIP can revise and resubmit its applications. The already approved 34 acre first phase on Roan Street near Arcadia is unaffected, and the company's plan to avoid drawing from the local power grid is unchanged.
