623 ACRES — ATMORE, AL — DATA CENTER & BATTERY STORAGE DEVELOPMENT SITE
Rare 623-acre development-grade parcel in Escambia County, Alabama, positioned in the rural corridor between Atmore (approximately 7.5 miles west-northwest) and I-65 Exit 57 (approximately 6 miles northeast). The site sits at the intersection of the three inputs that matter most for hyperscale data center and utility-scale battery storage development: in-corridor high-voltage transmission, adjacent grid-tie infrastructure, and proximate interstate gas pipeline supply.

NATURAL GAS
• Interstate natural gas transmission pipeline corridor approximately 1.5 miles from the property — supports on-site combined-cycle, peaker, cogeneration, or thermal cooling installations
