Name: Town Hall - Rayville, LA on Meta's Hyperion Data Center
Start: 2025-11-17T18:00:00-06:00
End: 2025-11-17T20:00:00-06:00
Location: Johnny's Pizza House

We are reaching out as part of a coalition of community, worker, and environmental groups to invite you to a town hall meeting at 6:PM on Monday, November 17th at the Johnny's Pizza House (1924 Julia St. Rayville, LA) to discuss the proposed Meta data center in Holly Ridge. There will be a LDEQ-sponsored meeting in Rayville on Tuesday to look at air permits for the Entergy Louisiana, LLC - Franklin Farms Power Station that is planned for the area. Its construction is part of a plan to build out three gas-powered power stations to supply the heavy electricity demand of the data center.
Our coalition has been monitoring statements and press releases about the new facility since the announcement of the facility last year. We have met with citizens from other states where similar (but smaller) data centers have already been built. Meta’s 2.5-million-sq.-foot data center outside of Atlanta uses about 10% of the county’s total water use a day (500,000 gallons) as reported by The New York Times. The Richland parish facility is touted to be “as big as 70 football fields” – 4 million-sq.-foot.
Knowing what we know – and don’t know – we would like to bring members of the community, interested groups, and elected officials together to discuss it further before the state-sponsored air permits meeting.
