Join Edged US to learn about the proposed Project Gateway and meet the project team.
Project Gateway is a modern, compliant, and responsibly designed project that respects residents, supports community institutions, and delivers long-term economic value. It can be approved with confidence based on enforceable standards, proven technology, and clear public benefits.
Large data center campuses in Alabama can exceed 500 MW—and even over 1,000 MW. This project is only 8 MW, meaning it is a small, local-scale facility by comparison. The largest projects in Alabama are over 100x larger than the proposed project. Project Gateway is part of the digital infrastructure that powers modern life. It supports local businesses, cloud computing, online communications, education, healthcare, and the internet services millions of people use every day.
The project represents a $93 million investment in the Prichard and greater Mobile area community, creating hundreds of construction jobs during development and at least 20 permanent positions for long-term operations.
Project Gateway is being designed with advanced sound mitigation and acoustical engineering to be a compatible neighbor. Noise levels are expected to be significantly lower than many traditional industrial and logistics facilities, helping preserve the character of the surrounding area.
No. Project Gateway is designed with advanced cooling technology that uses zero water during normal operations, helping protect local water resources while supporting the digital services people rely on every day.
Project Gateway is designed to operate with minimal impact on air quality. Unlike many industrial facilities, data centers produce very limited emissions during normal operations while delivering essential digital services and economic benefits.
Edged US follows the same site-selection criteria across all communities and does not target neighborhoods based on demographic characteristics.
Project Gateway was proposed here because the site offers the infrastructure needed to support a modern data center, including access to power, telecommunications, and transportation networks. These advantages allow the project to deliver new investment, jobs, and tax revenue while supporting long-term economic growth.
Absolutely not – Project Gateway is not intended to monitor surrounding neighborhoods or community members. Its security measures are designed for facility safety and security only, not community surveillance.
We understand that privacy is important. Project Gateway is committed to operating responsibly, respecting our neighbors, and maintaining the trust of the community.
Project Gateway will use standard onsite security systems to help protect employees, equipment, and critical infrastructure. These systems are focused on the facility and its immediate operations.
Project Gateway will create hundreds of construction jobs supporting local workers, contractors, and suppliers during development, along with at least 20 permanent positions for ongoing operations.
Data centers generate very little daily traffic compared to most commercial or industrial developments. Project Gateway is designed to generate minimal traffic and fully comply with all local planning and zoning requirements.
