Google Port of Little Rock Data Center (Willowbend Capital)
Google (filed as Willowbend Capital). Filed
A Delaware shell company called Willowbend Capital bought about 380 acres at the Port of Little Rock for roughly 23 million dollars to build a 300,000 square foot, 1 billion dollar data center along the Arkansas River, and Arkansas news outlets reported in January 2026 that Google is the technology company behind Willowbend following months in which the developer's identity was kept confidential during local approvals. On October 20, 2026 the Little Rock Board of Directors rejected a six month moratorium ordinance in a 4 to 4 tie vote, the second such tie after an August 2026 vote on an 18 month version also failed, leaving the Google project's city permitting process unaffected for now. On October 27, 2026 the Pulaski County Quorum Court, which separately regulates unincorporated parts of the county, voted 10 to 4 to override County Judge Barry Hyde's veto of a new countywide data center ordinance, a regulation that fellow Pulaski County developer AVAIO Digital Partners sued to block on October 30, 2026.
