Meta used secret talks to launch a massive Louisiana data center

The New York Times Business reports that Meta secured a major Louisiana data center project through private negotiations with local officials.

The examination describes how the company worked to move a site plan forward at a scale large enough to cover nearly six square miles.

According to the report, the deal relied on discreet discussions rather than a standard, fully public process for bringing the project together.
