Sam Jones Road, Atmore, AL 376502

A rare 623-acre development-grade parcel in unincorporated Escambia County, Alabama — positioned in the rural corridor between Atmore (approximately 7.5 miles to the west-northwest) and I-65 Exit 57 (approximately 6 miles to the northeast). The property 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.

Power on-site. 115 KV Alabama Power transmission runs directly across the parcel — multiple in-service segments, AC overhead, with redundant routing options. Multiple 115 KV tap points exist along the corridor. The grid backbone is owned and operated by Alabama Power Co., a Southern Company subsidiary (NYSE: SO), which accepts large-load interconnection inquiries directly for qualifying data-center loads. The Plant Barry generating complex (3,246 MW, coal + gas) sits approximately 38 miles west. Alabama's active generator interconnection queue currently reflects roughly 18 GW across solar, hybrid, storage, and gas projects (SREA Fall 2025 update).

Adjacent grid-tie infrastructure. Two substations sit immediately east of the property line at 31.00965, -87.36135, associated with the East Atmore Solar project — an 80 MW PV development on the adjoining 500-acre site. The solar project was originally developed by Pine Gate Renewables (Asheville, NC) and was acquired by Nofar USA in January 2026 via Pine Gate's bankruptcy proceedings. Substation operational status and energization date should be confirmed with the current project owner and Alabama Power. The presence of adjacent grid-tie infrastructure is a meaningful credibility signal — it demonstrates that Alabama Power has been willing to support new interconnection at this exact location, and it potentially opens creative deal structures for a data center developer such as behind-the-meter PPAs, shared infrastructure, or co-location discussions with the solar operator.

Stable grid environment. The site sits within the Southern Company (SOCO) balancing authority and NERC SERC reliability region — a vertically-integrated regulated utility environment outside ERCOT and PJM congestion zones, with historically high reserve margins.

Gas supply within reach. An interstate natural gas transmission pipeline corridor runs approximately 1.5 miles from the property — sufficient for on-site combined-cycle, peaker, cogeneration, or thermal cooling installations. The Big Escambia Creek natural gas processing and treating plant (operator: Escambia Operating Co. LLC; legacy ExxonMobil; NAICS 211130) anchors the region's legacy gas infrastructure approximately 4 miles north. Major corridor operators include Gulf South Pipeline, Southeast Supply Header, Florida Gas Transmission, and Gulfstream Natural Gas System.

Buildable site. Greenfield upland topography at approximately 210–280 ft AMSL — gently sloping and favorable for a level development pad. Reedy Creek traverses the western portion; the majority of the parcel is upland and outside FEMA-mapped floodplain (site-specific Flood Elevation Certificate recommended). The CSX Seaboard System rail line and US-31 run immediately north of the parcel. The parcel sits outside municipal limits in unincorporated Escambia County, supporting a flexible permitting environment (zoning to be verified with the county before development).

Transportation and corridor context. I-65 access via Exit 57 is approximately 6 miles away, putting Mobile (~51 miles) and Pensacola (~49 miles) within easy reach. Montgomery is approximately 135 miles north via I-65. The Port of Mobile, Mobile Regional Airport, Pensacola International Airport, and NAS Pensacola all serve the broader region.

Connected. Multi-carrier fiber in the Atmore area — AT&T Fiber, Mediacom Business, C Spire Fiber, and Frontier Communications. Long-haul fiber routes along the I-65 and CSX rail corridors. Gigabit+ symmetric service available; address-specific availability to be confirmed via FCC National Broadband Map.

Incentives. Alabama Jobs Act (Jobs Credit + Investment Credit); Data Processing Center Sales & Use Tax Abatement under AL Code §40-9B (HB 399 of 2026 limits new abatements to 20 years for projects ≥$200M / ≥100 MW); long-term property tax abatement available for qualifying capital investment; AIDT free workforce training; AdvantageSite-eligible region; SEEDS Act site-readiness funding active in Escambia County. Right-to-work state.

Local support. Escambia County Industrial Development Authority (406 S Trammell St, Atmore; (251) 368-5404). Coastal Alabama Community College Atmore campus and Atmore Community Hospital nearby. The Atmore Industrial Park and Rivercane (740-acre AdvantageSite-certified mixed-use district at Exit 57) demonstrate the corridor's active development trajectory.
