The AI buildout changes more than data centers.

JLL identifies power, land, connectivity, and tax incentives as core data-center market-selection factors. It does not supply a Louisiana land-price forecast.

DOE identified 16 potential federal sites with existing energy infrastructure for possible AI infrastructure development and energy co-location. This is a federal initiative, not a Louisiana project announcement.

DOE reports that data centers used about 4.4% of U.S. electricity in 2023 and could reach as much as 12% by 2028; it identifies constrained transmission as a barrier to serving rising demand.

The IEA reports that data-center electricity use grew 17% in 2025 and identifies bottlenecks in grid equipment, planning, and regulation. It is global context, not a schedule or capacity determination for a Louisiana site.

CBRE identifies AI demand as a driver of optical-network upgrades and notes that power constraints are pushing some hyperscalers toward secondary markets. Neither statement validates a particular Louisiana parcel’s fiber service.

LBNL estimates that U.S. data centers used 66 billion liters of direct water in 2023 and projects a wide 2028 range for hyperscale direct use. The figures are national estimates, not a Louisiana campus-use measurement.

EPA guidance identifies some brownfield and Superfund sites as possible AI-data-center reuse candidates where infrastructure and site conditions align. It does not deem any particular site developable.

Link Logistics reports its own research estimate of roughly 2 million square feet of spillover industrial demand per gigawatt of data-center construction. That is owner research and must not be reused as a Louisiana forecast without local validation.

CBRE describes IOS as serving logistics, infrastructure, construction, and service businesses, with digital-infrastructure demand among factors increasing competition for properly zoned sites. LouisianAI still treats a local IOS trade as a source-required diligence question, not a generalized rent conclusion.

JLL reports longer average backlogs for contractors with data-center exposure than for those without it. That is a construction-capacity signal, not proof of a Louisiana warehouse or yard lease.

The assessment projects a peak temporary construction workforce of up to 5,500 and identifies a near-term need to plan for furnished rentals, RV parks, extended-stay hotels, and short-term leases. It is a project-specific study, not a realized-demand measure.

The assessment recommends short-term options including extended-stay hotels and furnished rentals for temporary construction workers. It does not report actual hotel occupancy, ADR, apartment rent growth, or unit absorption.

A July 2026 LED announcement describes the expanded Meta project as supporting 7,500 peak construction jobs and about 1,000 operational jobs. These are announced project figures, not verified local hires, households, or occupied units.

Louisiana DEQ’s Q4 2025 issued-permit report lists Mammoth Industries Inc – Holly Ridge Lodge & RV Resort under AI 246509 and LPDES permit LA0127856. The permit establishes a named accommodation facility and regulated utility footprint, not its capacity, occupancy, opening status, or economics.

The Northeast Louisiana assessment names RV parks and mobile-home communities among potential temporary-worker options. It does not establish that existing parks will absorb workers, support a rent increase, or convert to workforce use.

The assessment projects 740 additional households in Ouachita and Richland Parishes by 2029, split between 570 renter and 170 owner households. It is a scenario projection and must not be represented as current household formation.

The 2025 housing assessment reports apartment effective rents up 1.6% year over year with 96.2% occupancy and says heightened demand could be related to the start of Meta construction. The source itself stops short of a causal finding.

The Northeast Louisiana assessment flags the risk that housing supply may not match expected demand segments and calls for land availability, zoning flexibility, and infrastructure investment. It does not demonstrate an observed displacement outcome.

A Louisiana Housing Corporation grant application describes manufactured housing as a key affordable-housing resource and proposes preservation and infrastructure improvements. It does not show that a particular community should absorb data-center workers.

One Oregon public-services exhibit evaluates hotels, short-term rentals, and RV parks within a one-hour commute and proposes mitigation for potential seasonal strain. It is a project filing, not a broadly transferable capacity finding.
