# City of West Memphis West Memphis is a city in Crittenden County, Arkansas. It is the current owner of record of the Project Pyramid data-center site. ## Roles in this corpus - **Site owner.** GROOT LLC conveyed the entire ~1,117-acre Project Pyramid site to the City of West Memphis on 2025-11-07 for $0 (deed 2025/05083); the City is the owner and taxpayer of record on six of the seven parcels ([[Project Pyramid Site Property Record Card]], PRC.pdf p. 1). See [[2025-11 GROOT LLC Conveys the Project Pyramid Site to the City of West Memphis]]. - The [[Crittenden County Assessor's Office]] routed the FOIA request's PILOT / community-benefit-agreement and rezoning items to the City as the office holding those records. ## Notes City taxpayer address of record: 205 S Redding St, West Memphis, AR 72301. A municipality holding title to a privately developed data-center site at no recorded consideration is consistent with a bond-financing or PILOT lease-back structure; no such instrument is in the corpus. **The structure is now publicly described — at Tier-3 (2026-06-11).** ADG reporting: the City Council approved **up to $60 billion in Act 9 industrial development bonds over 30 years ($10B real estate / $50B personal property) under a PILOT with a 65% abatement** — the figure-for-figure twin of the Conway MOU template (web research 2026-06-11, [ADG report](../../web%20archive/2026-06-11/www.arkansasonline.com/google-west-memphis-60b-bonds-2026-06-04.md); see [[2026-06 Reporting Details the West Memphis 60-Billion-Dollar Bond Cap for the Google Data Center]] and [[Act 9 Industrial Revenue Bond]]). The same report carries the West Memphis Utilities GM's statement that the facility "will eventually use 'gray water'" for cooling, and the Assessor's statement that the site's agricultural valuation will be reclassified commercial in 2026 — with the West Memphis School District receiving 80% of the 45.3 local mills the abatement reaches. > [!web-research-unresolved] Obtain the actual instruments: the Act 9 bond ordinances, the PILOT/lease between the City and the developer, and any effluent/gray-water supply agreement (request items routed to the City; the bond ordinances are now confirmed to exist by the 2026-06-04 reporting).
